WSUS Client delayed update detection after assigned to new group


hello, fellow forum dwellers,

i'm experiencing issues wsus client management , couldn't find answer in library or forums. decided write here:

issue
when registering new computer wsus , assigning group, updates, have been assigned group aren't released computer (searching yield list available default group). after hours (i'm trying measure how many) updates become available intended.

why bother me?
wouldn't bother me permanent clients (using term "client" refer wsus client, independently of actual os type), of our work spent rolling out devices customers (who ought receive them updated). non-uniform, preinstalled non-updated hardware , os rule out preupdated installation images unfortunately. putting significant delay in our time spent on each individual device (and putting serious bottleneck in our operation).

infrastructure:
wsus os: windows server 2003 r2
wsus version: 3.2.7600.226
computer-folder assignment: serverside
client-configuration: registry modification (clients not domain members, settings applied via powershell script)
client os: windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008 r2, sbs 2011, 2012
client os architecture: x64 & x86
localization: clients & wsus have uniform timezone , language

any insights , welcome :)

cheers , in advance,
fred

there's no place 127.0.0.1

after adding computers group wsus recognize new group need run command on client
wuauclt.exe /detectnow /resetauthorization

the /resetauthorization part 1 makes sure client checks see group belongs in wsus.

the delay experiencing amount time client takes "check in" wsus.

hope helps.
