I have a computer that crashed and I removed it from the domain. However the
Network Summary Report always shows a missing update for that computer. How
do I get rid of that message?

TIA

Bobby

Hello Bobby ,

Thanks for your post.

I would like to know how did you "removed" the crashed client from SBS domain? If you didn't follow the remove computer wizard from the SBS server console to delete the
client, then the issue may happens.

So I suggest you go to WSUS Update Service 3.0 console( in Administrative Tools) and check if the legacy client is there and remove it if any. Then click the Report node
and on the right panel, update the Update Report and Computer Report. Then, restart the "Windows SBS Manager" service and test the issue again.

Hope this helps.



Best regards,

No I deleted it from the SBS Console. I did what you said but can't tell now
because there are new updates that just came in. I'll check tomorrow but I
think it should be fine. Thanks.

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Please take your time to run and update the "Computer Report" and see if the original issue persists.

As supplement of explanation to the Summary Report that monitoring WSUS, it's called "Windows SBS Manager" (DataCollectorSvc). This service will perform several tasks
for Update Services:

o It checks Active Directory every 5 minutes and synchronizes the machines with the group membership in WSUS (moves clients to client group, servers to server group).
Furthermore, it adds the proper permissions to the correct GPO for that machine to get the expected configuration. It will skip machines set on the exception group.
o It checks WSUS every 60 minutes and reviews the updates being reported as needed by machines in the network. Approves critical, security and update definitions
automatically.

So don't forget to restart the Windows SBS Manager service.


Best regards,

Thanks for the explanation Robbin. I actually had some time and restarted
the server after doing some updates so all services were restarted. I
appreciate your help.

As an aside, should I wait on Exchange 2007 SP2 since it seems like this is
no minor upgrade.

Bobby
