The hard part to figure out is what is and is NOT working, the Win7 Machines appear to be working and the CM is showing up in the servers BUT they are not showing any updates available. 

And yes the ONLY part truly failing is the updates themselves ALL Logs show clearly they are connecting and should be receiving. 

John,

To be honest the GPO was done prior to my coming in. I only know the GPO was created to control the Policies according to my buddy. Also we have the GPO to keep it to ONLY the Testing machines Globally for now. 

Well, you're not giving us any technical details or any details at all of what you've configured so there's really nothing we can say here -- simply saying it doesn't work is meaningless. For us to help you, you need to tell us what you've done, A to Z, as far as software updates is concerned including WSUS/SUP installation configuration, software update group configuration, package distribution, deployment creation, etc.

Also, be specific, statements like "the CM is showing up in the servers" don't mean anything because there's no such thing as "the CM" -- or at least it could mean one of many different things.

If software updates are not working and there are GPO's configured for software updates my guess if the GPO is brea

Here is the strange thing there are NO errors showing up in the logs, I have removed and recreated the GPOs and Policies even lightened the load as to not put stress on the Policy.

One major issue I have noticed with .net 4.0 is that when I reboot a server or desktop with it instead it will not restart.. I have verified all updates in 4.0 as well as the WSUS 3 SP2 as well I also downloaded the MS SCCM Hotfix and installed as well. But thit does not restart, I have to literally do an add remove and take it back to it's original state.

Now as for the connectivity issue I still am not able to get the DTs and Servers out there to communicate again. As I said I had her working just fine 2 weeks ago today for the first time since last year. However something is forcing a reboot on that server at night and there are NO logs showing what BUT I know she is rebooting because the .NETs are DOA when I come in the next day...

This issue has gotten weirder and weirder and there seems to be 0 factual understanding out there of what is causing this activity. I sincerely appreciate everything so far.. If I can find ANY log views I will post them asap...

Well I finally got it running and stable however I found a HUGE issue that I am working to resolve with the .net 4.0 and I have tried using ALL the .net including 4.5 and it still occurs.. It does not restart once the system reboots..

It says "Some services top automatically if they are not being used by other services or programs." I tried to disable the MSI as I found someone had posted out there that this would cause it.. That failed the ONLY thing that fixes it is if I run a Repair on the .Net Framework Extended then reboot. Then she works fine.. BUT as soon as the system reboots it's Tango Down again...

If anyone has an idea on this I would appreciate it.. I have also run all patches that I could find on MS regaring this...

Also just FYI this happens on both the servers and Desktop clients as well as the SCCM server itself... Here is a screenshot of the server and her updates now just FYI this has occurred since day one before and after these updates were installed.

John,

Have you ever seen an error code like this one, this is the first time period that this .Net has logged an error code on its NOT restarting I got this from logs this morning..

However here is the issue it does not manually restart AGAIN even after it acted yesterday as though I had it resolved. I had to go back this morning and run a repair to get it resolved.. 

Yes sir I agree,

Going to migrate my posts to them today sometime.. Thanks again and have a Great Weekend...  Oh I forgot we don't get those..
