WSUS upgrade showing inherited approvals John 7/2/2007 3:18:01 PM All, Does anyone know what inherited approvals are after the WSUS v3.0 upgrade and what to do about it? These "inherited" approvals were previously approved for install (and installed) before the upgrade. I have many machines showing they need these updates again. Thanks, John

John... that would be "Inherited (from the PARENT group)".. e.g., in most cases, Inherited from the setting for "ALL Computers". It has nothing to do with the upgrade, per se, unless you had applied approvals to the "All Computers" group -- in which case, they are now "inherited" by default. (Actually, they always were inherited by default, it's just a a different presentation in approval dialog box.) > These "inherited" approvals were previously approved for install (and > installed) before the upgrade. > I have many machines showing they need these updates again. Really!? Now.. I must admit, I've never seen the WUA report an update as "Needed" to a WSUS server if it was previously installed, and still installed. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....

Re: WSUS upgrade showing inherited approvals John 7/2/2007 5:44:02 PM Lawrence, As for the inherited, I assumed that was the case (but best to know for sure). The new presentation threw me off a bit. As for the already approved updates, you have a good one here! From what I've noticed since the upgrade, I'm beginning to believe the v3.0 identifies (from a visual standpoint in the console) needed updates much better than the v2 (SP1). I'll simply go though them & approve as necessary. Thank you again for your assistance, John "Lawrence Garvin (MVP)" wrote: [Quoted Text] > "John" <John[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:1BA6FA25-A32E-4E93-B490-A0F1CD7DE14D[ at ]microsoft.com... > > > Does anyone know what inherited approvals are after the WSUS v3.0 upgrade > > and what to do about it? > > John... that would be "Inherited (from the PARENT group)".. e.g., in most > cases, Inherited from the setting for "ALL Computers".
