How Do I Force the Detection of a WSUS client?
Posted on August 31st, 2007 by thehabgroup
- From a CMD prompt net stop wuauserv
- Delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto update\LastWaitTime (if it exists)
- Delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto update\DetectionStartTime (if it exists)
- Ensure that the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto update\Auto Update\AuState=0×2
- net start wuauserv
The client will then start a new detection within minutes of restarting the wuauserv..
