We have Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) set up in our domain environment. It is configured and working correctly. We run into an issue every once in a where Windows Update will lose/forget the setting and go out get updates online overnight. We countered this by disabling Windows Update through a registry change:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v NoAutoUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
This stopped Windows Update from running automatically if it loses policy.
We have since added this to our New PC batch file that we run on all new PCs. We've noticed that those new computers are not reporting to the WSUS server. It seems like if I go on the computer and manually kick off a Windows Update it will find the server and do it's thing.
Is there a way I can somehow make all the PCs "Check for Updates" so they all get reported on our WSUS server and start receiving updates?
Thanks!
