I have a single WSUS server on W2K3. Clients receive a GPO putting them in a particular Computer Group on the WSUS server. They receive the updates correctly.
I've recently cleaned up AD and disabled moved old computers to an OU called 'DECOMMISIONED' and after 2mths I will delete them permanently them. Before you ask, this is just so I can enable the computer objects if I'd accidentally disabled one I shouldn't have.
There are dozens of old computers that no longer exist and therefore haven't contacted the WSUS server in a long time. I'm sure I know the answer but I'll ask and see what others think or have opinions on......do these old computers ever get removed from WSUS? I'm pretty sure they don't ie there's no sync to AD as such. It's a pain to have to manually delete computers from WSUS that are no longer used and are just cluttering up the screen with big red crosses but if that's the way it has to be then I'll just have to do it.
Ideas/thoughts?
