FORCE COMPUTER TO UPDATE AND REPORT STATUS TO WSUS SERVER



After configure the gpo on domain sometimes computer do not synchronize with the wsus server as you expect; even though the policy have been applied already. 
There's some local command that you can use to force computer to contact wsus server, report its status and start downloading the updates.


First, run cmd as an administrator on the local machine.  The syntax is:
wuauclt /detectnow  (This will request the computer to contact wsus server.)
wuauclt /updatenow  (This will force computer to start downloading update from wsus server.)
wuauclt /reportnow  (This will force computer to report currently status of the PC to wsus server.)

Even though you run this command on the local machine generally it takes like 5 minutes to appear on the wsus due to delay scan that the wsus server takes.
