SOLVED SCCM WUServer Value

[Baldeep Gill]

Hi Guys,

Just looking to see if anyone is aware where the "WUServer" reg key comes from.

We are not setting this via GPO (and dont really want to) and would like to change the value in SCCM for our clients as we are making some DNS and port changes.

I could not find this anywhere in the client settings or the Software Update site system role settings.

We have 2 Software Update points and clients either get 1 or 2 set in their WUServer key.

if you deleted the key does it come back?

if you deleted the key does it come back?

Yes the Key comes back once deleted. Ive found it comes back after 2-3 mins.

 

[Garth]

Is the Key your existing SUP or something else?

 

[Baldeep Gill]

Yes the Key is the SUP either 1 or 2. Just to add our SCCM Environment is in Azure and there is no trust in place from Azure to our On Prem domain.

 

[Baldeep Gill]

I have been advised elsewhere that the key is set by SCCM and this cannot be changed in the SCCM settings.

Full Answer and Actions i Took


So after amending the SCCM Software Distribution ports to 80/ 433

I also ran the command - WSUSutil usecustomwebsite false

From: C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\

This takes a few mins to complete when it has you'll see the message "Using Port number: 80"

This moved all the WSUS sub-sites into the Default Site which was where Active Efficiency is sitting.

Restart the server after and the result of this was that WSUS then changed to use Port 80 / 433. This can be varied in the WSUS desktop app as the "Connection Port" will show 80.

As soon as this change was made patches started instantly going out to machines and they began reporting their compliance with in minutes.
