WSUS


hi,
i have installed wsus 3.1 first time. shows tonnes of updates old , new. lot of updates applied clients. how sort these updates not sure if applied clients or not? approve updates , there workstations/servers download ones need? or best method follow?
thanks

i suggest following:

1. first, start security updates, they're critical organization.

2. in security updates view, make sure superseded column displayed. big help.

3. filter security updates view approval=unapproved , status=needed.

4. sort on superseded column new (not superseded) updates @ top of list.

5. select of unapproved/needed/notsuperseded security updates , approve them.

6. resort on superseded column invert column , select other group of not superseded updates.

7. repeat step #2 thru #6 critical updates using critical updates view.

8. repeat step #2 thru #6 remainder of updates using updates view.

after known needed updates have been installed, return updates view
and filter on approval=unapproved , status=installed/notapplicable
sort on superseded flag, select updates superseded, , decline them.
(you not need these updates anymore.)
