Dear experties,

I have several servers 2022 are forcing updates location to a WSUS server by GPO, they cannot check updates from WSUS. I have checked the following parameters:

  1. GPO was applied correctly on the server side, checked by RSOP.MSC
  2. GPO was set to auto download and notify for install.
  3. In the WSUS server, I checked "Microsoft Server operation system - 21H2", which is for server 2022.
  4. I have approved updates for 2025-02 updates KB5051979, and the file exists by check "File Information".

Anything I am still missing???

Thank you

    What does the computer say it 'NEEDS' for updates?
