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 3.1 clients not updating

Asked by Randy_K in Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Windows 2003 Server, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: Microspft WSUS 3.1

I have recently setup a new wsus 3.1 server. I created all the GPO's which seems to work fine. I have the server email me the summary every morning. It lists all the computer groups with all the computers. The management console on the WSUS server lists all the groups with the appropriate computers in each group. The server does not install any updates on the clients. It lists all the critical updates approved but when I go to one of the test machines (in the specific grouped named "TEST") no updates have beed installed.

I have noticied the following error in the event log on the WSUS server:
Content file download failed. Reason: The requested URL does not exist on the server.
 Source File: /msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/wss2003sp1-kb841876-fullfile-eng-(sfxcab)_a7e23a4aa5b5d0430d275c53b571e04365ce5eb4.exe Destination File: d:\WSUS\WsusContent\B4\A7E23A4AA5B5D0430D275C53B571E04365CE5EB4.exe

The Wsus server is a server 2003 SP1 but is not the DC, our DC is also a server 2003 SP1
Any suggestions?.

In the GPO management console I have enabled the following:

Do not adjust default option to "Install updates and shut down"
Configure automatic updates
Specify intranet microsoft update service location
Enable client side targeting
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates
Automatic update frequency
allow automatic updates immediate installtion
