In the software distribution folder there is a log file that shows whether
its connecting with the server and what result its getting back, see what
you can see in there

1) Delete the computer from the WSUS server (not really necessary, but not a
bad idea).
2) stop the AU service (services.msc)
3) Delete the " C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" folder
4) Delete the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" file
5) Open a command prompt and execute the following batch file:
@echo on
net stop wuauserv

regsvr32 /s wups.dll
regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
exit
Most of the time just step 2, 3, restart service from 2, then wuauclt.exe
/detectnow from a command prompt and all is well, the whole process pretty
much guarantees it though

slowly poking around and learning wsus on the fly - I have one server that
seems to be checking in okay with the WSUS server on both the server and
client logs, but the client keeps seeing 0 updates needed and the WSUS
server shows 20 updates needed for that client. from the registry on the
client it appears the last successful install was last october.
ideas? troubleshooting tips?
