Windows 10: Non Domain Joined PC Not Updating

Unable to get non-domain computers to connect to and update using internal WSUS server. Domain computers are working fine, but when the non-domain computers try to update after changing local gpo to point to WSUS server, it says "We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet." We are using https for WSUS, and correct certificate is installed on computers. Not sure where to go from here.

How to reserve Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC (but perhaps fomerly domain joined)

My reservation icon for Windows 10 has not appeared. After ensuring i have all outstanding Windows updates, and run the script that runs scheduled tasks, the icon still doesn't appear.

Then there was the hint from
KB3081048:

> The "Get Windows 10" app doesn’t appear in Windows 7 or 8.1

>

> If your device is has been connected to a domain it may be blocked from the upgrade reservation.

It is entirely possible that for 2 or 3 minutes two or three years ago, my machine
was joined to a domain.

• What registry key is the upgrade advisor mistakenly using to determine if a machine is joined to a domain?
• How do i check if a machine was previously joined to a domain?
• How do i unjoin a non-domain joined machine from a domain?
• How do reserve a copy of Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC?

Bonus Chatter: It's a Surface Pro 3

I tried using the
Media Creation Tool, but it fails with a non-descript error:



How do i upgrade to Windows 10 now that it is released?

 

Join Windows 10 PC to a Domain  


@rseiler,

I just finished clean installing Windows 10 Enterprise build 17093 in a VM using a local account, and it still has the same steps in the tutorial for me.

Is your PC already joined to a domain?

 

Can same PC have domain-joined and non-domain-joined accounts?

Can the same PC have one account set up that's domain-joined (to work), and another personal account that's NOT domain-joined?

I'm guessing the answer is more likely no, since domain seems to be a machine-level and not an account-level setting.

What I'd like to be able to do is use my personal PC at home, with its large monitor, to connect to my work domain occasionally and work remotely. But I don't want corporate IT to take over my personal PC. ;-)

Thanks!
