Servers not able to communicate with WSUS
We are using WSUS configured on Windows 2012 R2 to patch our Server in domain
It has been observed most of the times 60 % Boxes are not reporting /communicating with WSUS
Need to diagnose if that is because if Group Policy or something else ?
How can we diagnose /validate the same if policy is applied in right wy to get server communication with WSUS?
Please help with your best practice if any tool /steps /diagnostic utility we can follow to get this fixed
Thanks

Thanks Noah,
How to verify if Policy is correctly configured /applied to get WSUS communicated with clients in domain ?
Any command we can push /pull from WSUS Server or Client computers to get it fixed?
Any more utility steps to report computers in wsus console with valid communication

Check whether the reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
exists and contains the WSUS server name etc. This key needs to be set by the GPO, if everything goes well.
Next, generate a lig file as described in the link above.

You can export that reg key from a working machine (as .reg file) and apply (locally) on a non-working machine. I'm doing that for a few (intentionally) non-domain joined PCs.

will tray that manually by pushing reg key
