Re: Manage AD computers based on AD Sites and Services

So make it a requirement for people to move the computer from one OU to another when they move the PC. This is a policy problem or an app design issue. I would lean towards the app design issue but haven't done anything with WSUS so don't know if it could be done more intelligently.

Thanks for that Joe- it's a shame as WSUS and our AV solution both rely on PCs getting app-specific information from the "local" OU

If anyone else has any information it'd be great- for example, a PC in "Denver" gets it's WSUS information from a Denver-specific OU group policy, then someone switches it off and moves it to Miami... it's still trying to pull all it's WSUS data from Denver, except our bandwidth can't cope ! We can do the OU movement manually but it's an admin overhead (besides which, we have trouble telling if PCs are just switched off, if they've been moved, rebuilt etc etc...)
