Problem : Updates installed/not applicable shows no status or 0 and is greyed out Updates with no status shows high number

The Overview (WSUS3 under Updates Services, Server, Updates, Overview) is greyed out and showing 0 or no status for “Updates installed/not applicable”.  Also, “Updates with no status” is showing a high number in the All Updates category.  I believe the updates are being pushed and loaded up but the feedback isn’t there for when they are installed.  Strange thing is, the error fields show 1 and the “Updates needed by computers” show resonable numbers.

On the server I ran wsusutil /checkhealth and event log showed no issues.  In fact, I have plenty of WSUS related events that are strictly informative and not warnings/errors.

I ran the client util test on a couple of workstations and everything passed.

Does anybody have an idea why this would be?  This was a new install on an app server.  No SSL is being used.  Port 8530 config with the port 8530 mentioned in group policy.

Thanks for the help!


Solution : Updates installed/not applicable shows no status or 0 and is greyed out Updates with no status shows high number

This is normal occurence with WSUS 3.0 depending on what your Server is actually doing at the time

For example, if you are syncing in any way shape of form from either up stream servers or straight ms, then the status shows that “0”…i just confirmed with a test on mine for this and i have the exact same screen that you are displaying

Does this always occur or is every so often when your console is active?

I take it computers are all reporting in OK and that updates are being pushed?

There are also loads of bugs with MMC V3.0 so i wouldnt be surprised if what we both see is the result of one of them.
