Computers not registering with WSUS

I'm not like some of these bloggers who live to post, it takes time and that's something I don't have a lot of.  Still, I really need to make an effort to post fixes when I find them. For example I just fixed an issue that has been plaguing us for weeks.  We are teetering between using Windows WSUS and a 3rd party product for patch management.  For now we will use WSUS.  I set up a global policy in our domain to assign each system to one of our two WSUS servers according to AD site.  We're not using client side targeting (yet) so the GPO setup is fairly straightforward. Initially about 2/3 of our systems registered with one or the other of the WSUS servers but the rest would not.  We tried everything but nothing would get these things to register.  The OS type ranged from XP to Server 2012 and everything in between. Finally One of the guys here hit on a Technet article that cinched it. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f983bb7b-cb...
