I have around 1000 machines i our environment in which i am facing the issue of detection state unknown .
1. Inventory logs of these are good - as these are reporting to the database.
2. they are reporting to their MP and then to the Central Site.
3. even updates are getting sync in WUAHandler.log as getting the below logs.
Async searching of updates using WUAgent started.

I have tried below steps but with no luck.
1. Upgraded the Windows Update Agent on all the machines - But nothing changes issue remains the same.
2. Checked all the status and client on MP for communication from client to MP machine is reporting to MP.
3. Checked the "windowsupdate.log" for all machine everything looks good.
4. Followed below steps as found on Technet -
1. Stop the Automatic Updates service and BITS service.
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
2. Delete “%windir%\softwaredistribution” directory.
3. Start the Automatic Updates service and BITS service. When these two services
have been started, they will auto-create “softwaredistribution” and its subfolder
at system directory.
net start wuauserv
net start bits
4. After the “%windir%\softwaredistribution” directory has been generated, please
let the client contact the WSUS server immediately.
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow
5. After 15 minutes, please check the client to confirm whether it detects needed
updates.
After following these steps also nothing changes and issue remains the same.
5. Run the blow script in order to update the status message - but nothing changes and issue remains the same.
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Call RefreshServerComplianceState
' WScript.Echo "Finished"
Sub RefreshServerComplianceState()
' Initialize the UpdatesStore variable.
dim newCCMUpdatesStore
' Create the COM object.
set newCCMUpdatesStore = CreateObject ("Microsoft.CCM.UpdatesStore")
' Refresh the server compliance state by running the RefreshServerComplianceState method.
newCCMUpdatesStore.RefreshServerComplianceState
' Output success message.
' wscript.echo "Ran RefreshServerComplianceState."
End Sub
>>after this i came to a conclusion their can be an issue in the report also mentioned below.
declare @DeploymentLocalID int
select @DeploymentLocalID = AssignmentID from v_CIAssignment where Assignment_UniqueID = @DEPLOYMENTID
declare @COLLCOUNT as int
select @COLLCOUNT=count(*) from v_CIAssignmentTargetedMachines where AssignmentID=@DeploymentLocalID
declare @LOCALUPDATEID int
select @LOCALUPDATEID=CI_ID from v_UpdateCIs where CI_UniqueID=@UPDATEID
select
sn.StateName as Status,
count(*) as NumberOfComputers,
PComputers=convert(numeric(5,2), (isnull(count(*), 0)* 100.00 / isnull(nullif(@COLLCOUNT, 0), 1))),
@DEPLOYMENTID as DeploymentID,
@UPDATEID as UniqueUpdateID,
sn.TopicType*10000 + sn.StateID as DeploymentStateID
from v_UpdateState_Combined uc
join v_StateNames sn
on uc.StateType = sn.TopicType and sn.StateID=isnull(uc.StateID,0)
join v_CIAssignmentTargetedMachines atm
on uc.ResourceID = atm.ResourceID
join v_CIAssignmentToCI aci on aci.CI_ID = @LOCALUPDATEID and aci.AssignmentID = @DeploymentLocalID
where atm.AssignmentID=@DeploymentLocalID and uc.CI_ID=@LOCALUPDATEID
group by sn.StateName, sn.TopicType, sn.StateID
order by sn.StateName
]
But i am unable to get an idea that how and by which constraint and rule this query is taking the status (E.g by last states sent by the machine or any other)
4. I have created the below report in order to check the status of the machine state.
Select US.ResourceID, vrs.Netbios_Name0, sn.StateName , sn.StateDescription , us.StateTime, ws.LastHWScan, ws.TimeStamp from v_R_System vrs
join v_UpdateState_Combined as us on vrs.ResourceID = us.ResourceID
join v_StateNames as sn on us.StateID = sn.StateID
Join v_GS_WORKSTATION_STATUS ws on ws.ResourceID = vrs.ResourceID
where vrs.Netbios_Name0 = 'XXXXXX'
by this we are able to get the different status of the machine.
