2005-04-01 13:03:27+0200 1012 768 Message:need to call RegisterComputer.

CAUSE
The problem may be related to the AU client being unable to collect properly all the computer information for registration.

WORKAROUND

Try running the following command on the WSUSserver from the CMD prompt:

osql -E -S <SqlServerName> -Q "UPDATE SUSDB.dbo.tbComputerTarget SET
IsRegistered=1 where IsRegistered = 0"

where <SqlServerName> is the SQL server you are using. If you are using WMSDE, specify %computername%\wsus.

Note that the client information will still show up as unknown in WSUS Administrator, but the clients are able to receive updates.

STATUS

This is a known issue that will be fixed in the final release.

Track ID is: 675794672.
