Thank you Seth. &nbsp;I guess it just took a while. &nbsp;The computers are in the correct group this morning and we are set to deploy some updates scheduled for tonight. &nbsp;I did run the rsop yesterday and saw that the policy was applying, so I guess I should have ran gpupdate /force instead, I don't know. &nbsp;I guess the changes just weren't being picked up at the time?

Great advice to track down if the policy is being applied. &nbsp;I think ultimately, it just took time to replicate.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I am trying to figure out why my WSUS server computer groups are not moving computers via group policy? &nbsp;If I understand this correctly, I have a GP that targets a specific OU in AD to a specific group in WSUS. &nbsp;I can see the policies and their respective WSUS groups and all seems fine except when I move a few computers from an OU to my Test OU. &nbsp;The Test OU corresponds to a target group in WSUS called Test Group. &nbsp;When I move them to the Test OU, they do not show up in the Test Group no matter how many times I run gpupdate? &nbsp;In the WSUS server, the computers memberships are set to use GP. &nbsp;Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello,

I am trying to figure out why my WSUS server computer groups are not moving computers via group policy?  If I understand this correctly, I have a GP that targets a specific OU in AD to a specific group in WSUS.  I can see the policies and their respective WSUS groups and all seems fine except when I move a few computers from an OU to my Test OU.  The Test OU corresponds to a target group in WSUS called Test Group.  When I move them to the Test OU, they do not show up in the Test Group no matter how many times I run gpupdate?  In the WSUS server, the computers memberships are set to use GP.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
