Property Value

Type: System.TimeSpan

The period of time for which client events are retained before being removed from the database. The minimum unit of time is one day; fractions of a day are truncated (the property returns only the day value). The maximum unit of time is 365 days. The default is 15 days.

Remarks

WSUS scans for client events to remove when it receives a client event and ExpiredEventDetectionPeriod has elapsed.

To remove client events immediately, set ClientEventExpirationTime to 0. To remove events for a specific client, call PurgeAssociatedReportingEvents.

To view client events, call GetUpdateEventHistory or one of its overloads. The collection returns both client and server events. Use WsusEventSource to determine the event's origin.
