Wsus + Scep 2012 Defenition Updates

Question

Hi 
Im using Wsus to manage Pattern file updates for my scep 2012 clients an my proplem is that most Pattern files do get applied to my machines but like today my computers had
Pattern file (1.185.908.0)  but when I check on Microsoft website they say the latest pattern file is (1.185.926.0) so I
synced my wsus to see if there where any new files available and it return with nothing new... so I manualy ran "mpam-feX64" and my client got update to (1.185.933.0)  so it seems that my Wsus server is missing every other updates,,
 Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour..  I also tested to let my workstation check online for updates and the result was the same "no new pattern
files"  
Best Regards

Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour..
Configured for "every hour" is probably a bit excessive, but much more likely is that you've not properly configured your WSUS server and your WSUS clients to be able to get Definition Updates in a timely manner.
In addition to synchronizing WSUS at least 3x daily (every 8 hours), you also need to do the following:
Create an Automatic Approval rule for the Definition Updates update classification for the "All Computers" target group.
Enable the policy setting "Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation".
Set the CLIENT Detection Interval to 6 hours.
