WSUS - Servers not reporting in

Hi All,

I am busy with WSUS in a lab running off my laptop. Details are as follows:

1. 1 x Domain Controller running Windows Server 2019
2. 1 x WSUS Server running Windows Server 2019
3. 1 x Windows Server 2016 VM

I've installed WSUS on #2 and it's busy downloading updates I have selected. However, try as I might, I cannot get the other 2 servers to report in. Further information:

• All firewalls are disabled;
• I can ping via name/IP successfully;
• I can successfully run nslookup;
• I cannot browse the http://servername:8530 site (in spite of generating the SS;
• 2 GPOs were created (one for Test, one for PRD) and linked/enabled on the domain;
• WSUS Service running on the other 2 VMs.

What can I check to ensure that this works? The GPOs are applied, but do I need OUs within AD itself and the servers placed in those, or is leaving them in the default container fine for now? Like I said, it's for test purposes, but I obviously need to get
it running for further trials/tests I'd like to do.

Thanks!

My WSUS server does not go through WSUS services.

Hi guys, hope you are all doing fine.

I have an question regarding Microsoft Windows Server 2019.

Here in the enviroonment we have several servers running with all his own services.

• 2 dcs (1st one is AD-DS, GPO, DNS etc. 2d one is replication for AD-DS)
  1 sync server with Azure for hybrid.
  1 WSUS server
  1 backup server (veaam, and cloud backup)
  1 file server
  1 WDS / workbench server
  

I have installed, and configured on the WSUS server everything including the GPO's.

But the updates still goes through Windows Updates instead of the Server.

I have managed now that the clients are going through the WSUS server, i confirmed that via the logs what i have generated.

But my server self, the WSUS server still goes through WindowsUpdate, how can i solve this problem??
