WSUS3 and copying 'approved for install' setting between groups wickman 6/1/2007 6:36:03 PM I'm sure I'm just missing this so please be kind.... I have a TEST computer group and I've approved for install many patches for this group. I test my patches and am now ready push those patches to another PROD computer group. Is there any way to copy the approval from the TEST group to the PROD group en masse rather than going into each patch one at a time. Thanks for any pointers. Eric

There was such a tool in the WSUS V2 API Samples and Tools kit, but I do not know if it'll in a WSUS v3 environment. The other choice you have is to build a custom view of updates filtered by "Approved for TEST group". Then do a SELECT ALL and Approve them for the PROD group. -- 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 .....
