The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

WSUS clients are not showing up in WSUS Update Services Console - Error Log Incl.

Asked by dj_ludachris in Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, WSUS, 3.0 SP1, Windows Software Update Services

I have got a script from an experts-exchange thread I ran on one of the clients in an Administrator CMD window on an XP machine (see code snippit).

I've attached the error log to the post, and can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

I have set the policy on an OU with all of our users logging in using Active Directory with:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update

- Configure Automatic Updates
- Specify Intranet Microsoft Update service location
- Enable client side targeting
- Automatic update detection frequency

I've also ran the commands:
gpupdate /force
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow

And still no go.  The only object I see in the Update Services Console is the WSUS server itself (which is the AD server as well).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

chris
