Client Not Updating via SUS 1

[d1onysus]

I'm having an issue, it's actually with SUS, but I'm hoping somebody can help out. I set up the SUS server, have a GPO in active directory all set up. I know that function is working because I can deny access to the Windows update site and the test group can't get to the website anymore. I have the updates approved (on SUS) so that is not the problem. It is setup so it automatically downloads and sould apply the patches, and then reboot (if needed). Now, I know the GPO works on the USER settings so I had some users logged on over night some logged off....But no one seems to update. Any Help?

Do you have all the necessary registry keys on the client machines?

If yes, you can check a force update...
During normal operations, the Automatic Update client will check-in to the SUS Server every 17 to 22 hours to detect approved updates. It is possible to force the detection process.

Stop the "Automatic Updates" Service
Check that the "AUState" registry value, located at:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update
is set to "2"

Delete the "LastWaitTimeout" registry value, located at:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update
Start the "Automatic Updates" Service

The Automatic Update client will begin the update detection process in approximately 10 minutes.

Thanks for the info...looking at the site...I realized I had the GPO in the Users OU, but not in the Computers OU...duh! Some of those utils are really helpful.
