Ok next step...!

 

WSUS is set to sync at 3am, and that seems to be working fine. The GPO setting is that computers download and schedule updates for 12pm, although

 

a) it doesn't seem to be doing anything, as you still have to 'install updates and shut down',

 

 

and b) windowsupdate.log states that after logon, the AU schedule is set to Friday at 3pm...when you go into the windows update settings locally, it does indeed state Friday 3pm, but these options are greyed out, as you might expect.

 

the reason that its still displaying install updates and shutdown is because you have disabled the option to 'Do not display...'. that should be enabled.

 

are the updates being installed?? if you look in the WSUS console it will give you a couple of pie charts to give you that info.

Sorry, been caught up with a couple of other things today, so not had much time to have a look.

 

Just popped on though, and last night's synchronisation downloaded 6 new updates, but they all still show as 'needed', and 12pm has been and gone!

 

 

Interesting side note, the 30 netbooks we have, which were also cloned machines, have now shown up successfully, without me having to do any messing about with SIDs.

Well I've left WSUS alone for a few days, and although it is syncing and what not, I'm still not wholly convinced it's actually doing updates at 11am. One of the client machines has this in the logs, still:

So it is still insisting on Friday 3pm...:mad:

Save yourself the effort of running commands on lots of different machines - use psexec from the excellent pstools collection (free).

 

\pstools\psexec -u administrator -p xxx %1 gpupdate /force /boot /target:computer

 

Runs gpupdate on machine %1 (stick admin password where xxx is).

 

For a roomfull, list the machine names in machines.txt and run

 

\psexec -u administrator -p xxx @machines.txt gpupdate /force /boot /target:computer

Is it picking up the time from any other policies you might have. Default domain policy or similar??

 

edit: run a gpresult and check all the other policies the computer is picking up.

Ha! I'm so stupid.

 

Presumably when I was trying to get WSUS to do something, anything, I put various bits of the settings in other GPO's. Now that's all removed, the actual GPO for WSUS is working and the clients say they will update everyday at 12pm.

 

We shall see after lunch if it's done anything!

I'm assuming it's doing something now, as there's a lot of this type of garb in windowsupdate.log

Granted it wasn't at 12pm, but that could have been because it missed yesterday's instance due to the GP not being updated until very close to 12pm.
