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:



Any ideas?

The Application event shows these recent events:
