WSUS & registering computers...
We run a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Domain here. A few servers and a few XP Pro SP2 workstations.
I just rolled out a single WSUS server to handle updates.
The WSUS rollout went well and I have made the GP changes to point my PC's to the WSUS server rather than the microsoft site.
The thing is, my local PC's aren't showing in WSUS. As a matter of fact, my WSUS summary screen indicates that no computers are registered yet and there's a hyper link showing me how to register computers. I've followed the instructions and I've even rolled out WSUS servers before, but for some reason, my local computers are not registering in WSUS.
My WSUS server has pulled down the updates for me to approve so it's working that way. I've done a gpupdate /force on a few XP machines to see if they show and they do not.
What have I missed?
Thanks
Cliff

your reference to port 8530 sort of hits a nerve. i seem to remember seeing that wsus was on that port under my default web site.
i'll check all of this in the am and thank you for the detailed response.
