Approving an Update

Once your package is published in Wsus, clients computers will see it and evaluate the "Installed Rules" and "Installable Rules", then report back to the Wsus Server. You will be able to see if right computers need the package. It is a good way to check if rules are correctely written.

Select an update, choose the "Status" tab and choose a computer group to see status of computer for this update :

Update Status

  • The status column can show :
    • Installed : The update is installed
    • Not Installed : The update is not installed and required by this computer
    • Not Applicable : The update is not installed and no required by this computer

There is no other status in Wsus. "Uninstalled" is not a status. It is either, "Not Installed" or "Not Applicable".

To approve an update, right-click on it and choose "Approve…".

Approval Window

Select computer groups and choose approval then click "Ok". Good practices is to approve an update in Test group first to see how computers behaves after installing the update.
