We are trying to update a number of our servers by
accessing the Windows Update Site and then asking it
to "Scan for Updates". In most cases, machines check okay
showing 33%, 66% e.t.c and then come up with a list of
patches which are needed.

However, a number of machines seem to reach 100% of the
check in a matter of a few seconds, and it then says
that "no updates are available at the present time". Now
I know that some of these machines are not running the
latest patches so somewhere along the line the check is
not working correctly. Has anyone else come across
this ? If so, what can I do to rectify this problem ?

Thanks

Mark Williams
