wsus 3.0 on windows 2003 classifications query
hi im running a win 2003 domain via isa 2006
previous my machines had receive most updates via wsus, but due to issues i completed a clean install of wsus but now receiving the below issue!!!!!
currently all my machines are setup for (automatic approvals) - due to previous wsus issue i have changed automatic approval (name) but (computer group) is same!!
currently i have only selected (security updates & critical updates)!!!!
currently there are 3 machines that can be viewed via my wsus, but show as below:
- dc - win 2003 not yet reported
- file print server - win 2003 not yet reported
- win7 laptop - (showing as windows vista enterprise edn & not yet reported)
workaround solution for updates:
questions 1. i logged on individually to all 3 machines and directly connected to windows update and download almost all updates. i thought this would solve (not yet reported) issue but still same - have i done something wrong here ?
troubleshooting:
access regedit and delete (windowsupdate) etc & susclientid & susclientidvalidation & looked at c:\windows\windowsupdate.l og
question2. as ive tried various things to resolve, what i would like to know is when i should download the others in the (classifications list) ie:
- definition updates
- feature packs
- service packs
- tools
- update rollups
- updates
questions3. what is the difference between (security & critical updates) to above updates ?
note: i was advised to just tick (all updates) and leave (drivers)!!!!!!!!!
note: it appears that some troubleshooting techniques or answers may be correct for win 2008 but not for win 2003
note: i am also running a (windows internal database) and not sql 2005 or 2008

hi, yes i realise!! :)
i keep going round in circles!!!!!!!!!!! :((((((
note: problem never occured before, but due to previous wsus issues and machines 99% upto date, then carryout clean install of wsus - problem occurs!!!!! rrrgggh
previously attempt to fix by installing:
kb2720211 - i have attached screeshot
2nd attempt i install:
kb2734608 - same issue as kb2720211
now your advice i do the following:
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /report
windows updates shows issue again.
so i do:
net stop wuauserv
regedit - delete 2 susclientid & susclientidvalidation
net start wuauserv
wait 2 mins

c:\windows\windowsupdate.l og - now shows error:

hi npsingh123, the below link did not help:
http://www.ghacks.net/2010/01/24/fixing-windows-update-error-0x80072ee2/
note: as you suggested earlier that all classifications should be downloaded except for 'drivers' is what i have done so thanks for letting me know this!! and the extra advice also!
note: after running the below command and leaving for a few hours all my machines are now reporting which is excellent!
wuauclt /resetauthorization
note: my isa 2006 domain member server still has not been viewed via my wsus yet - ?
appreciated

what about my question 2 on main thread ?
ive run the following:
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /reportnow
question 1. after running above command ive never know after 15 mins where i can find it ?
note: as i have started with (windows internal database) i wish to finish this off and for future i will look at sql server express or 2005 or 2008 as i have read although not sure what these offer
note: yes all gpo & regedit settings point to my wsus domain member server.
maste dc - ok
xp is - ok
win 7 is - ok
not sure why the others are not!!!!!!
i have been trying to resolve some outstanding gpo issue but did not think this maybe part of cause!!! so i have not mentioned it!!!!!!!!!!!
