The reboot functionality is implemented using WMI, so I think you’d have to set the remote machines to use a fixed port for WMI connections, otherwise it will be a dynamic port, which you’ll have no control over. See here for one possible example: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447%28VS.85%29.aspx</a></p> <p>The WSUS installations are performed by a script which is executed on the remote machines by PsExec.

Turning off the firewall works, but if anyone has the firewall rules figured out it would be very helpful.</p> <p>-HL </p>
