looks here there =no= updates on wsus server!!!

2013-06-05 568 agent * found 15 updates , 23 categories in search; evaluated appl. rules of 68 out of 110 deployed entities

but finds 15 updates (which note have single digit revision numbers, indicating may locally published updates -- unless microsoft stopped using 3 digit revision numbers win8/ws2012 updates). note detection launched "third party service"... maybe should talk else installed on machine, , else might installed in environment leveraging windows update agent scan updates.

and i've never seen windows update agent before ... redirect "secondaryserviceauth url". in fact, if think is, it's functionality introduced system center configuration manager 2012 service pack 1 .... have configmgr 2012 deployed?

also, should increase detection frequency @ least -2- hours. when using server side targeting, 1-hour detection frequency prevent clients getting target group changes when made wsus console.
