Client Computers not showing in Update Services Console

-

hi,

sbs 2011 standard

5 x windows 8 pro client computers

just noticed none of client computers have been updating, suspect since installation. (standard default server installation)

observations:-

  1. client computers not showing in update services console
  2. client computers show in sbs 2011 standard console in network>computers under update status displays - unknown
  3. client computers cannot directly access online windows update, stating updates "managed system administrator"
  4. client computers receive anti virus , spyware updates via server and sbs 2011 standard console provides details of client computers required these updates when required.
  5. server - shows in update services console under "update services server computers" , in sbs 2011 standard console>network>computers under update status displays - ok

any reason why client computers not show in update services console yet receive anti virus , spyware updates?

thanks

the link refers sbs 2003

not sbs2003, legacy version of wsus. i'm challenged understand why it's difficult microsoft support reps cite current documentation.

for documentation regarding configuring clients in wsus v3 or wsus v6 environment, please refer article update , configure automatic updates client computer in wsus deployment guide.

for assistance sbs2011 console, believe link place start:
