It would be nice if the domain told WSUS when a computer account was deleted. Not a big deal, just one of life's minor annoyances. 30 days of old computers isn't a big deal, plus it reminds you to run the server cleanup wizard which is a good thing.

All WSUS knows is what has checked in and what has not. Since WSUS is not tied to AD (AD is not required to use it successfully), binding accounts to AD membership in the suggested manner would be limiting. How would WSUS know the difference between a machine that was removed from service completely, vs one that was not a domain member, but still in WSUS for patching purposes?

Am I seeing this correctly? If I delete a computer account in ADUC, the computer will continue to appear in WSUS, and has to be manually deleted from WSUS as well? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
