SUS CLIENT UPDATE IMMEDIATELY

[RCOS]

WE HAVE A SUS SERVER THAT WHEN WE CONNECT A NEW PC TO IT,
WOULD LIKE IT TO UPDATE IMMEDIATELY, NOT THE NEXT DAY.
IS THIS POSSIBLE ????????

 

[CMR]

Force client to autoupdate from SUS

Stop the automatic update service
run regedit
delete the Regsz subkey "LastWaitTimeout" found UNDER:-

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\

Restart autoupdate service,
the client machine should connect and download after a few
mins

Instead of editing the registry try using the command

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy
