WSUS - machines not all there

[jnalpak]

I recently setup WSUS on one of my servers. If it go into network places i can see all 500+ workstations in the firm but if go into WSUS it only sees 104 computers.

Anyone see a reason why the other 400 would be missing?

thanks

Are all workstations under the same OU?

Are you direction the workstations to the WSUS server using group policy?

WSUS Client Diagnostics Tool

the part in BOLD was what looks incorrect and it was also in RED when reported by MS diag tool.

all machines are in two seperate OU's and there are some subfolders under the two OU's but all GPO's governing these OU's point to the WSUS server correctly.

ok i figured this out, in one OU i disabled "configure auto updates" b/c of some reason i forget...so i added a new TEST OU with this policy enabled and i get all workstations poplulated in WSUS....thanks for the effort and stimulation to investigate this
