WUSU server not reporting computer after a wsus cleanup

Question

Wsus server is not accepting other pc and not sending updates

Answer 1

Hi Robert Agusto,

Hope everything is going well.

1,Agree with S.Sengupta. We can reset Windows Update and force update detection on the client to have a try.

2,For test purposes, we can remove one or a few affected devices from the WSUS MMC console. On each affected system, run the client-side script in below article once from an elevated (Run as administrator) prompt to have a try. Can the client hit the WSUS site via browser? For more troubleshooting steps, please refer to:

Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns/queries.

Best regards,
