    This is wrong:

    SQLHOST "\\.\PIPE\MICROSOFT##WID\TSQL\QUERY" 
    BROWSECLIENT  "\\.\PIPE\MICROSOFT##WID\TSQL\QUERY"

     I am curious to know why this machine is reporting its own hostname as  \\.\PIPE\MICROSOFT##WID\TSQL\QUERY ???? 

    Show this to SQL dba - maybe he/she will be able to tell you why?

    Entry should match hostname. 
    If I look at your policy. it should be wsus2012.

    So, replace with these lines:

    SQLHOST WSUS2012

    BROWSECLIENT WSUS2012 

    Also add a line in the script with the correct instance name.

    INSTANCE <NAME>
