Remarks
WSUS scans for server events to remove when it receives a server event and ExpiredEventDetectionPeriod has elapsed.
To remove events for a specific update, call PurgeAssociatedReportingEvents.
To view server events, call GetUpdateEventHistory or one of its overloads. The collection returns both client and server events. Use WsusEventSource to determine the event's origin.
WSUS uses subscription server events to generate synchronization history. The synchronization history is lost when subscription server events are removed.
Note that you can exceed the size of the database if there is a high volume of server events and you specify large value for ServerEventExpirationTime.
