Windows Machine not logging into WSUS?

For those that are deploying (virtual) machines from templates and may be experiencing an issue with WSUS registration, take notice of the following registry keys as it’s likely these entries are not unique between the template and the recently deployed machine.

net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate” /v AccountDomainSid /f
REG DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate” /v PingID /f
REG DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate” /v SusClientId /f
net start wuauserv
