No, using wsus you can not deploy updates/installation on a computer by computer basis. You can differentiate based on wsus groups while using AD GPO to place computer in different WSus groups is the way to manage what you ....<br />
<br />
Users are in users groups, computers are in computer groups, not sure what you mean by moving a user to a different computer group.<br />
<br />
Scripting moving user object or computer objects among the different location is possible using vbscript, powershell, dsquery|dsget/......<br />
<br />
<br />
Wsus has two modes of operation, GPO or registry based. GPO provides for central management ......

The WSUS console has different &quot;Computer groups&quot; which we have defined. <br />
<br />
Heres a look at what i am seeing in the console:<br />

<br />
What i am looking to do, is based on a defined list of computers (in a .csv), move them automatically from Users - NA to IE11 Install. <br />
<br />
Currently the process is, the wsus admin clicks through a series of screens and moves each computer individually.<br />
<br />
thanks

Have you considered using GPO to manage the affiliation of the computers to the WSUS Computer groups<br />
<br />
GPO can be stacked.<br />
One GPO publishes the INTRANET site of the WSUS server.<br />
Then a GPO that sets the WSUS Computer client target associations and the install mode are individually applied to the OU...<br />
<br />
This way the placement of the Computer Object in the AD will control where the computer will end up within the WSUS client targeting.<br />
<br />
There are examples that have powershell interfacing with the WSUS but I've seen ones dealing with approving updates, not relocating computer objects from one group to another.<br />

<br />
<br />
In your case when configuring the WSUS it was elected to manually place computers in their respective objects.<br />

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I am not the WSUS admin, so hopefully all of my terminology is correct. I am curious if there is a way to automagically move computers into a specific container? Currently we have a series of computers groups; 1st pilot group, 2nd pilot group, users, servers, test, etc). If we want to move users from one computer group to another we have to manually search for the computer and pin it into its desired group. <br />
<br />
Question is, if i have a large list of computer names that need a specific patch (Internet Explorer 11) and we dont want to deploy to an entire computer group, can we import a CSV or something of that nature to automate this process? Otherwise the alternative is the WSUS admin has to spend hours on large testing groups manually moving one computer at a time. <br />
<br />
thanks in advance!

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
