Some missing patches on the client can prevent WSUS from seeing computers.
Download and install the following 2 patches on all these computers:

If that doesn't do it verify the WSUS path on a client computer.

Edited cause I can't spell.

Well i think i need to do something with the group policy of my domain controller which would allow my WSUS server to collect information of all computers on our LAN secondly the updates you told me are already been deployed as we update the windows right away after fresh installation so this is not the problem what should i have to do in the group policy of my AD in order to collect computers

I have deployed the policy and it has also disabled Automatic Updates option from a client computer as well but i still cant find any single computer in my wsus server. Now will i need to depoly this policy through Active Directory? because i have configured this policy by gpedit.msc not by particular OUs. My network is behind ISA Server will i need to open or bypass any port from firewall. Please help me out.
