Windows 10: WSUS Server not able to connect issue

I got this error when I try to run report on my new WSUS Server:The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API. Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server.

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!

Craig

Windows 10 Pro x64 machines listed as "Vista" on my WSUS Server


I'm running WSUS 3.0 on a Windows Server 2012 R2. It doesn't seem to recognize a Windows 10 machine because my Windows 10 Pro x64 machines are listed as "Vista" on my WSUS Server.

No WSUS update has been issued to bring WSUS up-to-date.
