We have a mixed environment of Vista and recently deployed W7 clients and I cannot get the W7 clients to report to the console. They all say "Not yet contacted". I have tried everything I have found on this site with running the gpforce udate, report now commands, checked the reg to confirm that they clients are showing the correct WSUS server, I removed/reinstalled the agent on my machine (one of the ones not reporting), etc. etc. I'm not sure what else to do, but any other ideas would be great. I don't know why the Vista clients would report, but not the W7. Please assist!

Just for further info:We have windows firewall disabled company wide and I also confirmed that the clients were getting the correct certificate from the SCE server.

Hello,Did you follow the steps below to manage Windows 7 in SCE 2007 SP1: 1. Upgrade the System Center Essentials 2007 SP1 Server to WSUS 3.0 SP2.

This is the first time I have seen this info so I will check it out and give an update. Thanks Yog Li.

UPDATE:1. WSUS 3.0 SP2 is, and has been, already installed.2. I installed the latest mangement packs for SCE. Still not getting W7 clients to report to the console. Is there some kind of log file I can send you Yog Li?

Hello,Did you remove and reinstall the agents on Windows 7 client after upgrading the SCE server? If the issue still exist, you can check if the "%windir%\windowsupdate.log" has any error message on the client machines.For your information, here is an thread that could be helpful:Windows 7 Client - Not Monitoredhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/systemcenter/thread/d457f10f-93f2-40d9-a9e3-dd1165d62990/Hope it helps,Yog Li - MSFT

Reinstalling did not help, however I found another thread that talked about GPO issues. So I reran the configuration, re-establishing the GPO and the clients started reporting. I'm still getting miscellaneous errors, but I'll take this as progress. Thanks for the help and information.

Hello,Glad to hear the issue resolved. And thanks for sharing the information.Also, if you have any further concerns, start up a new thread for it and we are happy to be of further assistance. Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT
