Hi<br />
<br />
I have a question on setting deadlines in WSUS. &nbsp;What I've found so far is that deadlines are set on the patch level, but that doesn't jive with what I'm seeing in our environment (the person that set it up is long gone). &nbsp;Can deadlines be set on a computer container also in the WSUS mgmt console?<br />
<br />
What happened is that I moved a bunch of workstations from our old WSUS (that was apparently not installing patches) to our new using Wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow (after changing the policy to point to the new server) and a bunch of people are getting their workstations rebooted multiple times today. &nbsp; Just following bosses orders....<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />
