Offline WSUS - clients won't get updates (export and import updates)

We have got two WSUS servers, one is connected to the internet while the other is inside a closed network (due to security). we are using import-export in order to sync the update from the online server to the offline server.
The problem is that after approving a test machine, setting the GPO and checking for new updates nothing happen, the client log reported: "0 updates detected" (full log in RED below), 


Solution: after copying c:\wsus folder from the external server to internal server, exporting and importing (again) the database > clients can get updates.


How to perform export using WSUSutil.exe:


1 ) from external machine open command line and go to %drive%\Program Files\Update Services\Tools folder and type


wsusutil.exe export export_package.cab logfile.log


2) copy the c:\wsus folder to the internal server.


3) copy export_package.cab to the internal server (you don't need to copy the logfile.log)


4) on the internal server run:
wsusutil.exe import export_package.cab logfile.log

מתכון מנצח - קציצות בקר ובטטה מעולות

המתכון המנצח להכנת קציצות:

המרכיבים הדרושים:

• 1/2 קילו בשר בקר טחון.
• 1 בצל בינוני.
• 1 בטטה גדולה (הקרדיט לנועם)
• 3 עגבניות.
• 2 קישואים בינוניים (לא חובה, אבל מוסיף המון).
• 1 ביצה.
• חצי כוס פירורי לחם.
• כפית מלח.
• כף סוכר חום.
• כפית פלפל שחור.
• שתי קופסאות רסק עגבניות.
• כוס וחצי מים.
• שמן.
• כפית שום מרוסק.

אופן ההכנה:

1. מכניסים את הבטטה למיקרו ל-6 דקות עד שהיא רכה מאד ומועכים אותה לכדי פירה, נותנים לבטטה להתקרר קצת, שמים בצד...
2. קוצצים את הבצל דק דק דק ומטגנים אותו עד שיזהיב , שמים בצד...
3. בקערה גדולה מערבבים ביצה, פלפל שחור, בשר, בצל, בטטה ופירורי לחם ולשים עד כדי עיסה שאינה דביקה יותר מדי, אם צריך מוספים עוד פירורי לחם. (מתקדמים יכולים להוסיף גם פטרוזילה קצוצה דק)
4. את תערובת הבשר צרים לקציצות ומניחים בצד.
5. עם קצת שמן מטגנים את הקציצות קלות עד שיקבלו צורה,  כ-4 דקות מכל צד (רק שיקבלו צורה, לא נורא אם התכולה בפנים לא מבושלת לגמרי). בגמר הטיגון מניחים אותן בצד.
6. את הקישואים והעגבניות חותכים לחתיכות בגודל של 1 ס"מ ומטגנים בסיר נמוך ורחב מאד עם קצת שמן.
7. מוסיפים למחבת רסק העגבניות, מים, סוכר, מלח ושום (מתקדמים יכולים להוסיף בזיליקום טרי).
8. מערבבים טוב טוב את תכולת המחבת ומוסיפים את הקציצות כך שיטבעו ברוטב.
9. מכסים ומבשלים כ-40 דקות.

אוכלים עם חלה טריה והרבה טחינה כמובן :-) בתאבון !
