WSUS on SBS (PCs cannot update)

Hi all

I have a WSUS installation on a Windows Server SBS (Standard FE) SP2. Unfortunately although I have few PCs in my domain, they are not updating from the WSUS server. In fact each PC has to update manually..but it still shows up as being managed by sys admin. I recently added a new PC on this domain, and its not even listing in the computers node in WSUS! Also I am noticing that when I leave the WSUS console open an error appears like this: http://blog.coretech.dk/wp-content/uplo ... humb17.jpg



Can someone assist please.

Thanks

The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.

Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service.

This forum is about the program WSUS Offline Update, not MS WSUS.
You have to ask in a MS forum.
