OU filtering on the scanning Queue

[d_i_saunders]

Hi all,

we have a shared OU, and only want to scan workstations under our control. all Workstations we manage have a prefix..

At the moment we get access denied on the other workstations, and a query runs on the database to clean them up..

DELETE
FROM         lansweeperdb.dbo.tblcomputers
WHERE     (Computer NOT LIKE 'UK%')

When this runs does it remove it from the scanning queue?

Would it be better to filter at the Scanning queue? eg the workstations would never be scanned as they would be deleted out before they had time to be acctioned..

Aslo the AD query happenes evey 15mins.. Each query, does it only get the last 15mins? or is there a max number, eg 500 workstations that are returned at any time?

regards

No

Yes, but you can only filter based on OU.

Aslo the AD query happenes evey 15mins.. Each query, does it only get the last 15mins? or is there a max number, eg 500 workstations that are returned at any time?

Only machines logged on in the last 15 minutes are returned, no limit. (maybe you can use site filtering to only query DC's in your site?
