System Center Essentials

Hope this goes here, cant find a true SCE forum.
Running SCE 2007 sp1, connecting to approx 140 pc/laptops just fine.
But I have about a dozen pc/lappies that are 'Not Yet Connected'.
Now Ive run all updates, removed and readded the agent and helper.
Also, did gpudate /force - reboot, then wuauclt -detectnow.
The ones I did this on checked in and got a connected. They would now show all info needed.
The kicker - I check back in SCE about half hour later and they are again 'Not Yet Connected'. Some have Health state as ok and some have warning, but it occurs with either.
Have posted in SCE MS Technet forums too, no answers there yet.
Im confoozzled.

Got this from SCE forums:
1).Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
2).At the command prompt, type net stop wuauserv, and then press ENTER.

3).Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
4).Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
5)In the right pane of Registry Editor, delete the following registry entries:
• PingID
• AccountDomainSid
• SusClientId
6) Quit Registry Editor.
7) At the command prompt, type net start wuauserv, and then press ENTER.
8) At the command prompt, type wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow, and then press ENTER.
9) Wait 10 minutes for a detection cycle to finish.

Seems to be working. But none of the machines had PingID or AccountDomainSid. Some had SusClientID, which I deleted if it was there.

well this all looked good, but alas, the several troublesome machines are popping back into the Not yet contacted list again.
