I have removed and re-added the Distribution point and software update points but the status is still critical. &nbsp;Does it take time for it to sync and clear? &nbsp;If so is there a way to speed it up?
</div>


<div>
This morning they are still critical<br />
<br />
I have done research and am coming up empty<br />
Multicast service point and component server is critical.<br />
<br />
I am going to narrow this down to one server and work on one at a time.

<div>
On any of the clients that are going out to Microsoft, what are the results of ???<br />
<br />
<br />
reg query &quot;HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mi<wbr />crosoft\Wi<wbr />ndows\Wind<wbr />owsUpdate&quot;<wbr /> /s<br />
<br />
^^From Command Prompt^^

<div>
Microsoft provided me a more detailed answer.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My workstations are no longer using WSUS for updates. &nbsp;They are going directly to Microsoft. &nbsp;This is saturating our network across all of the Distribution Centers all around the Country.<br />
<br />
We created a GPO to stop this from happening but this is only a bandaid.<br />
<br />
I was poking around SCCM and noticed sever Roles were critical under Monitoring\Overview\System<wbr /> Status\Site Status<br />
<br />
Is this related to why my workstations are not updated through the Distribution Point Servers?<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any insight on this issue?<br />

Workstations not Updating through WSUS 2012

Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM, formerly known as Systems Management Server) is Microsoft’s system software for managing large groups of not only Microsoft computers, but those running other operating systems, such as Linux, OS-X, and various mobile technologies.

SCCM

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), previously known as Software Update Services (SUS), is a computer program developed by Microsoft that enables administrators to manage the distribution of updates and hotfixes released for Microsoft products to computers.

WSUS

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
