Re: Understanding WSUS

You have to flip to approve install.. personally you might want to consider flipping the workstations to automatically install and the server to manual approve.

I installed WSUS following the instructions exactly on: http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=159

I noticed that it is on Detect Only and shows Updates that are Needed. Did I miss something or am I supposed to go to Updates and "approve" all the updates that I want installed by clicking Change Approval and changing it to Install?

If I go to Options, Automatic Approval Options both Detection and Installion approve are checked with the proper groups assigned, just like it instructed me on Mariette's site.
