The Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) SelfUpdate service does not send
automatic updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920659/en-us
When you try to use the Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) SelfUpdate
service to send automatic updates to client computers, the client computers do not
receive the updates. Additionally, the client computers do not report to the WSUS
server.
When this occurs, the WSUS Administration console logs the following error message:
Check your server configuration. One or more Update Service components could not be
contacted. Check your server status and ensure that the Windows Server Update Service
is running.
Non-running services: SelfUpdate
The event log may also log the following event:
EVENT ID 506
Source: Windows Server Update
Description: The SelfUpdate Tree is not working. Clients may not be able to update to
the latest WUA client software and communicate with the WSUS Server.
