WSUS and clients

[Alzana]

I have a question about wsus, which i inherited in this network at work.
Is that true that after a certain amount of time the updates expired?
All PC on the net are updated with what i approve but if i join a new XP
workstation in the network, how can i make it to download all updates which i
already approved and that are already installed on all the other clients??
It seems i am not able to have it download all the past approved updates

Hello Alzana,

If you move the new workstation to the computer group it will get all updates
you have approved. By default it will not move to your self created Computer
groups. Did you check this? Also it is important that the new workstations
will be on the OU in AD where the policy is applied to.

Best regards

Hello Myweb

tks for the reply. Though the newly created pcs are moved to the OU and also
in the group created in WSUS but they dont get the old updates. I remember
reading something about expiration but cannot recall it properly

Hello Alzana,

Sometimes MS have expired updates and will mark them as expired in WSUS,
but you can still see them in the list. How is you timeconfig for the clients
to report to WSUS?

Hello Alzana,

With the wuau.adm from MS you can configure a GPO with all settings for the
clients also in which timeframe they look to the server and so on.
