We have a problem with cloned machines in quite a large, disparate environment. If this tool can poll machines and retrieve the WU SID then we have a one-stop shop for remediation. We don’t want to blanket reset 15,000 machines unless we have no other choice.

I think you’re asking about the WSUS SID. According to the following link, there are a few registry values that store this information.

Registry values to look at:
```
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdate



PingID

AccountDomainSid

SusClientId

SusClientIDValidation
```
BatchPatch can retrieve registry values from target computers using ‘Actions > Get information > Get registry key/value’
