RE: WSUS 3.0

Hi Morgan,

Based on my experience, we need to configure a DWORD registry on the client.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001

In this way, the client can automatically update security patch from WSUS
server.

I like Microsoft Newsgroup.

Dear George,

Thanks for your posting.

I am sorry we are not best support resource for WSUS issue. To ensure this
issue receive more effective attention, you can post it in the
Microsoft.public.windowsupdate newsgroup. The engineers there are
specializing in Windows update relative issues. However, I am also glad to
share my suggestion with you.

1. "Does this port need to be added in the group policy object where I
specify the URL of the server?"

Yes, you can specify the URL at "Group Policy->Computer
Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows
Update->Specify intrasite Microsoft update service location"

2. After finishing and application Group Policy configuration, please check
the below register value on the client computers:

Run regedit command on those problematic computer and go to
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate registry key to
verify that the following settings are there:

WUServer - http://<WSUSserver name>:8530
WUStatusServer - http://<WSUSserver >:8530

Please ensure these two registry entries have correct value in conjunction
with what you configure in Group Policy. If not, it can approve the
application of group policy occurs some issues. Please run the RSOP on your
client for further troubleshooting.

About how to use RSOP to troubleshoot, please refer to:

I hope this helps. If anything is unclear about Group Policy issue, please
feel free to let me know.

Thanks.
