Cannot set deadlines when approving updates - selection is grayed JoshGfromPortland 5/16/2007 5:46:01 PM In WSUS 3 when I select "Approve" the only further choices I have available or "Approved for Install" or "Not Approved." All the other options are grayed out, including the option to set a deadline. Does this have something to do with inheritance? I'm using WSUS version 3.0.6000.374. Thanks for any ideas or insight on this issue. Josh Portland, OR

If you think about it it is "inherited" and so are all its settings. Thus you need to created another explicit install approval before you can set a deadline. Of course you could set a deadline on the parent but I don't think that is what you require. >> >> I'm using WSUS version 3.0.6000.374. >> >> Thanks for any ideas or insight on this issue. >> >> Josh >> Portland, OR -- Dave Mills There are 10 type of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.
