Hello Everyone:
I've been handed the task of monitoring our organizations SEP deployment and have a pretty good understanding of how things work, but I know there is a lot more I need to learn.
My enviornment is comprised of over 50 DC, File and Print servers along with a few thousand client workstations. The GUP's current in place are running flawlessly and are being monitored by SEPM Monitor, which works great.
My issue is that we have removed one of the locations where we had a running GUP supplying definitions to the clients at that site. The site no longer has any machines and the GUP has been removed. I now need to know how to remove the GUP policy from SEPM for this location as it's being reported on as a failed GUP in SEPM Monitor.
The GUP, workstations and subnet (network) have all been removed a this site and as such I need to remove the policy for LiveUpdate from within SEPM. I have performed a vast number of Google searches on how to perform this action, but keep coming up short on the exact steps. As this is a production enviornment, I don't want to make a change in errror and cause issues in the environment.
I'm running SEPM on Windows Server 2008 and all GUP's are also Windows Server 2008. All the workstations are Windows 7. I'm running SEPM tied into AD with a LiveUpdate policy setup for each site with one GUP serving each location.
When I attempt to delete the policy under the LiveUpdate Settings tab, I get the error: "The policy is in use. Replace the policy in assigned locations before deleting it!" I'm not sure what this means exactly and would appreciate any advice or direction that can be provided.
Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.
Have a great day!
