WSUS Group Policies for traveled workstations.
Hello,
We group our users and computers objects in Active Directory base on the city of their office in different OUs. We have group policies which instruct computers to go to their local WSUS server to get Windows Updates based on the computer physical location.
Some wireless LAN users bring their laptops away from their office to another regional office. This causes a network issue when their laptop connect to a regional office that has a slow network connection. This is because the traveled laptop is still in its original OU in AD and pulls Windows Updates across the WAN.
If someone knows a work around, please advise.
Thank you in advance ; )

Rather than using OUs to determine which localised GPOs should fire, use GPOs tied to sites. In this way, machines will automatically get differing GPOs based on the IP address that they pick up.
