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!

WSUS Manual Entry

Odd question for MS Experts.

I have a WSUS environment, and 99% of my servers report to it. This makes it very useful as a list of servers and workstations. But there are 1% of our servers that are in the DMZ or off network. I want to use the list of my WSUS computers to know what
computers need to be patched, so they don't get forgotten.

These 1% never have to actually talk to WSUS, just appear in the list of computers so a human knows they exist.

How can I manually add a computer to the WSUS Server?

Can I manually manipulate the DB (Full SQL), and if so, how?

 

WSUS Backup Server

Hi Guys,

One of my customer wants Secondary Server for WSUS Server Similar to Secondary ( Backup ) Active Directory in case of Failure.

Consider a scenario : There are two WSUS Server on same network One is active and other is Redundant(Cold Spare or Backup). Widows Update Patches are received from Upstream Server. Both will be synchronized simultaneously . When Active Fails due to Power
or Server Failure then Redundant as to come in to action until other is recovered.

Can we provide such solution . If yes can anyone explain how and If not tell me best solution like WSUS Database backup etc.

Note : All are physical servers no virtualization.
