Hi John,

The Windows SBS Manager service (DataCollectorSvc) does this for you based on the group membership in WSUS that you have chosen for your machines. For more info on this, have a look at http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2009/06/23/update-services-in-sbs-2008.aspx

"Once the WSUS policies have been updated and applied, Security Filtering on the Client Computers and Server Computers GPOs will begin populating with the machine accounts of your domain joined clients and servers. This is done automatically by SBS."

Automatically? Even if we have manually created the GPO and linked them to the domain OU?

How does the server computer policy know it applies to an object in the SBS Computers - Servers OU (or the client to clients) if they are linked to the domain GPO?

The instructions on technet are the same as you have here, so I was glad of the opportunity to ask about this.

Thanks,

John
