Repair-DuplicateSusClientID
SYNOPSIS
Removes SusClientID registry key on the local or remote computer.
SYNTAX
Repair-DuplicateSusClientID [[-ComputerName] <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
When creating a computer from a template (virtual disc) the SusClientID isn't changed and will result in WSUS only having one object for all the computers created. This function clears the SusClientID from the registry on the local or remote computer(s) so when syncing with WSUS a new SusClientID will be created. The first initial sync with WSUS typically fails. It may take several minutes for the computer to sync appropriately with WSUS.
