Hi Asem,

To show up client on WSUS console, please check those steps below.

1.Configure the group policy with Specify intranet Microsoft update service location and enable Configure Automatic Updates in GPO
2.Run gpupdate /force to apply group policy, and run gpresult /h gpreport.html to check if the group policy has been applied successfully on client
3.Run net stop wuauserv on client to stop Windows Updates service
4.Open registry, navigate to the path below to delete the value " SusClientId " and "SusClientIDValidation"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
5. Run net start wuauserv on client to start Windows Updates service
6. Run wuauclt /detectnow on client

Hi @NaderAsem-2996

Computer groups permit you to test and target updates to specific computers. There are two default computer groups: All computers and Unassigned computers. By default, when each client computer first contacts the WSUS server, the server adds that client computer to both of these groups.

You can create as many custom computer groups as you need to manage updates in your organization. As a best practice, create at least one computer group to test updates before you deploy them to other computers in your organization.

Configure WSUS computer groups
