Server 2012 WSUS - Checking it is working

[talksr]

Hi there,

 

I have recently configured a new Server 2012 FRDC and a second Server 2012 for WSUS and AV.

The servers are named stm-sr-001 and stm-sr-002 respectively.

 

I am able to browse to both on the local network or from server to server.

 

If I open on a client computer or server the following location: http://stm-sr-002.local:8530/, I get the following screen...

 

Should this display if it is working correctly?

I have added this to the correct place in Group Policy and just wanted to verify that everything is configured as expected.

Have you checked the log on the client, that will give you more information.

Thank you. Well the GP seems to be working as there is mention of the WSUS server in the logs.

There are quite a few errors showing in the log. I have attached it.

Client computer has detected 39 updates and is currently installing them.

*Update, 37 updates failed and two were a success.

The WSUS service uses BITS to update the workstations with their updates.

I would recommend using a GPO to enable BITS and windows updates services to automaticity start on your workstations, and maybe setup a WSUS GPO to enable the updates to install automatically at certain time of day.
