This is nice but now that i have it installed I can not get it to see any of my computers. please help
Ok I have said this on multiple POSTS. I hate links. pointes will be awarded for clear and consise answers. links are very braud and very general.
Please be direct and to the point thak you
Maybe if you looked at the link, you would see that it basically holds your hand. There is no need to copy/paste a very good guide here. Broad and general ??? It's a Step by Step guide.
Explorer, haven't you been banned yet?
LOL
I did read the link and it was not very clear on a lot of things, like what or how to set up the workstation and such
I need my hand held all the way from fron to back thank you for your help in this manner
Well if you cant get it set up correctly after following this guide, I'm afraid that nobody can help you.

I am having more problems I do not know how to get the local machine to see the WSUS server
Did you create the group policy to push out these settings?
if so you can check on the clients if they are getting it by running the command:
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /s
Then you may also want to run clientdiag.exe (on a client machine of course)

This is going to be good.

OK when I run the DIAG here is the screen shot I get thank you

This indicates that since you are using the custom port of 8530 that you will also need to install selfupdate on port 80. To do this you go to your WSUS server.
open command prompt and type cd %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\setup and enter
then type cscript installselfupdateonport80.vbs and enter
Ok now we are cooking with grease, now the error is gone and here is what it looks like however no status as of yet. After looking at this printout does everything look to be in order??
thank you by the way dstewartjr that was a very very clear answer

Can you close this question and give Dstew all of the points now?
If you type in a command prompt

wuauclt /detectnow then enter

wuauclt /reportnow then enter

The client should appear in the wsus console if it hasnt already
