It depends upon which "issues" you are talking about. If you are waiting for a Web interface you will probably never get one. I did a fresh install following a hard disk failure on the WSUS 2 server. I think WSUS 3 is much better in most respects. My only gripe so far in I cannot see the superceded status from the computers view, even in the details of the update. So I get lots of Junk mail filter updates (for example) but cannot easily tell which to approve or decline without leaving the computer page and going to the updates view. This just may be me learning a different approach as the updates views have so much additional info that I may not need the computer view. Time will tell. > > > -- Dave Mills There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Yes. But it is not available in the "computers" view and so when I look and what is needed for PCxxx I find several IE rollups or etc. but cannot tell if they are superceded. I have to switch to Update view to see this. I would like to look at what is needed for TestPC1 and then accept and/or decline right there based on the superceded info. After all it lets me change the approval setting but does not give the supercedence needed to make the decision. I expect this is more of an issue for new installs where there are lot of superceded updated reported as need. > >Right-Click the column header and select the Supercedence -- Dave Mills There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.
