I have a closed LAN (no internet access) that i have setup WSUS on one of our DC boxes (i know not the best place). I import the the WSUS information from an external WSUS server using the wsusutil cmd and i copy over the wsuscontent folder. I can get the WSUS server to see all of my clients and tell me what updates are nessary, but i can not get the clients to pull the updates from the server. I have setup group policy to tell the clients where the wsus server (http://XXX.XX.XXX.XXX) is and when to check in along with a few other settings. They are still not pulling the updates. I can hit the WSUS admin page from the client. (so i am making the assumption that it is accessable). Because this is a closed lan there are no firewalls setup and no proxy server. Just the standard DNS and DHCP running on the DC. Below i have 3 logs. In the windowsupdate.log I THINK (my best guess) the problem might be, that the clients are being told what updates they need by the WSUS but are trying to pull them from MS. This may or may not be the problem its just what i got out of hours of pouring through the logs. Any ideas on how to get the Clients to pull/install the updates from the WSUS? (logs might be easier to read if you past to txt) Windowsupdate.log 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Misc =========== Logging initialized (build: 5.8.0.2607, tz: -0500) =========== 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Misc = Process: C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Misc = Module: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng.dll 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Service ************* 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Service ** START ** Service: Service startup 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Service ********* 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Agent * WU client version 5.8.0.2607 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Agent * SusClientId = '30677955-403e-4898-8680-a70834c72d6b' 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Agent * Base directory: C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Agent * Access type: No proxy 2007-02-15 10:16:55 1088 29c Agent * Network state: Connected 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent *********** Agent: Initializing Windows Update Agent *********** 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent *********** Agent: Initializing global settings cache *********** 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent * WSUS server: http://7.156.5.50 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent * WSUS status server: http://7.156.5.50 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent * Target group: SCIF1 2007-02-15 10:17:40 1088 29c Agent * Windows Update access disabled: No 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c Agent * Found 15 persisted download calls to restore 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr Download manager restoring 1 downloads 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1260 504 Misc =========== Logging initialized (build: 5.8.0.2607, tz: -0500) =========== 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1260 504 Misc = Process: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1260 504 Misc = Module: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng.dll 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1260 504 DtaStor Update service properties: service registered with AU is {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77} 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1260 504 DtaStor WARNING: Update Service: Failed to update backup store 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c Agent * Succeeded to load 15 persisted download calls 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr Retrieved 1 persisted download jobs 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr *********** DnldMgr: Restoring download [no. 0] *********** 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr * BITS JobId = {9CD56106-4B72-4E4A-B1A3-EEC7748381BF} 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr * ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77} 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr * UpdateId = {B0F400F2-C431-405F-8367-54B20B3FC8B3}.12 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c DnldMgr * Restored download job. 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU ########### AU: Initializing Automatic Updates ########### 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # WSUS server: http://7.156.5.50 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Detection frequency: 1 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Target group: SCIF1 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Approval type: Scheduled (Policy) 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Scheduled install day/time: Every day at 10:00 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Auto-install minor updates: Yes (Policy) 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 29c AU # Will interact with non-admins (Non-admins are elevated) 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 7b0 DnldMgr *********** DnldMgr: Downloading regulation Odf *********** 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 7b0 DnldMgr * ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77} 2007-02-15 10:17:41 1088 7b0 DnldMgr * URL = http://rs.update.microsoft.com/odf/... 2007-02-15 10:18:01 1088 7b0 Misc WARNING: Send failed with hr = 80072ee7. 2007-02-15 10:18:01 1088 7b0 Misc WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ee7.
