    I have 100 new workstations that are not registering their information with WSUS, they are picking up updates and installing them as normal but the WSUS admin panel only shows 1 PC from the 100 getting updates.

    I'm pretty tied up with other stuff this week so I thought I'd get some ideas from you guys for when I get the time to look into this later.

    If so check HERE as there seems to be some issue with ghost and WSUS.

    Yes imaged using ghost, that could be the answer. I've got 10 mins so I'll try those registry edits and let you know.

    This seemed to do the trick, there were only two of the entires "AccountDomainSid" &"SusClientId" that needed to be deleted, I'll create a script that deletes these entries and set that as a startup script in GP.

    For anyone thats interested I created a script to delete the above reg entires then added the script as a startup script in group policy, heres the script I used:

    Code:
    Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
    
    strComputer = "."
     
    Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _ 
        strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
     
    strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate"
    strDWORDValueName = "AccountDomainSid"
    strBinaryValueName = "SusClientId"
     
    oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strDWORDValueName
    oReg.DeleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strBinaryValueName

    I had a number of issues with WSUS, and although I have to admit that it is cool, I never found the time to troubleshoot those issues, and ended up removing it from my network.

    Since I Re-image all of the clients every 14 weeks I simply turned off Auto Updates and do them manually for the new Image. 8)
