I have no computers populating the console of WSUS. I have no firewall or
proxy settings. I have redone the Group policy to ensure that it is set up
correctly. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Check if the GPO is correctly configured and its being applied if it does,
then you can try the batch provided.

Must is be the Computer- Default Domain Polcy?
Or can it be an =OU - sub GPO??

Hi. Please don't use the horrible Techarena forums to access the newsgroups.
The interface doesn't quote properly, and you're replying to a post which is
no longer on the news server, so it's unlikely that anyone will know what
you're talking about.

Try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook
Express, instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You
can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to
your posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.

Hello Beklimes,

GPOs have to be linked to an OU where the user or computer account is located.
Do NOT change the both Default policies, better create a new one and link
it to the needed level. In case of bigger problems you can go back to the
default with unlinking/deleting self-created GPOs and just having the defaults
in place.

For the problem of the OP described earlier, which is not readable here,
i fully agree with Lanwench.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

You already asured the Group Policy got applied on the clients? Try a
"rsop.msc" on a client in Start->Run. Does the policy show up?

cheers,
