Hello,
I am new to WSUS and recently configured a wsus server to automatically approve "all classifications" from the automatic approvals>choose update classifications screen within the options screen. I just realized this mistake as I don't want to download unnecessary office-exchange service packs or rollups. there are now a whole mess of office and exchange rollups and office updates that I don't want installed. Ive tried to change the automatic approvals to the following:
from update services>options>automatic approvals>edit default automatic approval rule>then under Rule properties>"when an update is in "critical updates,security updates" opens "choose update classifications", I unchecked everything excpect "critical updates" and "security updates". click apply to save changes.
I then try to run the rule and get a message "0 updates were approved"
My fear is that these updates will come down to applicable machines and im wondering if there is a way to remove prior updates I had approved and continue to only approve critical updates and security updates. Please help!
thanks
