Missing Updates on WSUS server to distribute to client PC's...way to get them back on WSUS server?

Have you tried In the WSUS console to expand the server node, right click on update and select search. In the text box type in the update that you want to approve and click find and then approve it?

You can also use the script below to push out this particular update(modify it accordingly)

sExePath = "\\Yourserver1\patches\WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe" 
sSwitches = "/u /q /z" 
 
 
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
 
 
sRegKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" 
 
 
' suppress error in case values does not exist 
On Error Resume Next 
 
 
' check for marker 
sRegMarkerValue = ""  ' init value 
sRegMarkerValue = oShell.RegRead( sRegKey & "\WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe") 
On Error Goto 0 
 
 
' to be sure update is installed only once, test on marker 
If sRegMarkerValue <> "yes" Then 
 
 
   oShell.Run Chr(34) & sExePath & Chr(34) & " " & sSwitches, 1, True 
 
 
   ' create marker 
   oShell.RegWrite sRegKey & "\WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe", "yes" 
End If 

Select allOpen in new window

The issue is not that a client won't accept the update....


It is that the update is not on the WSUS server at all.  I need to find a way to get missing updates BACK onto the WSUS Server so that I can approve them for install.  In this case I am missing KB931836 on the WSUS server.  How do I get that update back onto the server?   I think the previous ADMIN did a cleanup and ended up deleting a lot of updates



Hopefully that clears up what I am asking


Thanks!
