After installing WSUS3.0 SP1 all PCs are "computers with no status"
Hi, I would appreciate elp with a WSUS problem. I installed SP1 on WSUS 3.0 and after a reboot it seemed to work fine. But when this month's updates came out I checked and found that 150 out of 151 PCs show up as "computers with no status" for this month's updates. Normally, all 151 PCs would show up under "Computers neding this update" or "Computers installed/not applicable". I can look back at the previously installed updates and they display normally but this month's updates do not. Is this a "feature" of the WSWS 3.0 SP1 or is something broken?

I am working through your recommendations.
I Checked the link that you posted, and made recommended changes as follows:
(1) Added integrated Windows Authentication to default web site and WSUS administration website.
(2) set permissions according to link which was referenced in your link (http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com/articles/016.htm)
After that, the Update Services console could not connect to the server, console was empty except for a big red X. I decided to start over. Removed and reinstalled IIS and WSUS3 PS1; retaining the logs and database. After this, the console opened again and I was back to the original problem. All computers and previous updates show up properly in the console, but the updates with this month's date show all computers as "computers with no status".
Continuing on with the recommendations in the link you sent, I found that I have two missing cab files in the Program Files\Update Services\Selfupdate\au\x86
The missing files are:
iuengine.cab
wuaclt1.cab
I also have some files in that folder that are NOT listed in the article you referenced. Here is the cmplete list of files in that folder:

I looked for the missing files (iuengine.cab and wuaclt1.cab) and did not see them in any of the subfolders of C:\Program Files\Update Services\Selfupdate\AU\x86
Regarding your #2 sugestion, I will be adding a new PC later today or tomorrow, will let you know if is has the same issues.
Regarding your #3 suggestion, I deleted a couple of PCs from WSUS and one of them has already reappeared. So far it's status is "Not yet reported..."
Thanks for your help. Pleae explain where I can find the missing cab files, and I will post an update later regarding your suggestions 2 and 3.
