Declined updates still shown as

-

hello all

here bit of intro info think relevant q to understand situation .

just taken on responsibility our wsus , first job asked change "range" of our products to: win2003, xp, win7 , office 2007. classification used before were: feature packs, update rollups, service packs, security updates , critical updates. changed (as requested) security , critical updates.

finally question :d

when de-selected classifications , run cleanup wizard still can see feature packs , update rollups needed updates on "update overview" on many computers. went in "all updateds" , sorted updated classification , declined feature , update rollups updates still appear needed updates. there can not appear needed updates ?i mean declined , not needed surly should not showing @ ?

thanks

when de-selected classifications , run cleanup wizard still can see feature packs , update rollups needed updates on "update overview" on many computers.

yep. product category , update classification selections affect new content synchronized server.

i went in "all updateds" , sorted updated classification , declined feature , update rollups updates still appear needed updates.

yep! declining update not change reality of update's state respect client systems. if update not installed, it's not installed.

also, declining update rollups not best option ... among other trivial stuff, update rollups contains upgrades internet explorer (definitely needed on desktop systems) , daylight savings time changes.

is there can not appear needed updates?

nope. can't change reality. :-)

i mean declined and not needed

ahhh.. here confusing subjective use of term "needed" wsus's *objective* use of term. in wsus "needed" == "not installed", statement of fact.

there's no way wuagent or wsus know intent updates in own mind, surely wouldn't expect status change "needed" "not applicable" because wished so. :-)

oclist have qualifiers? can behaviour changed, example output xml?   given previous comments andrew m , comments in forums , blogs think answer no, it’s simple app calling underlying api, thought i'd ask can't seem find anything.   why asking question? i'd @ least 2 things oclist (apart nicer looking output [which i'm not going get], dependances listed [dicussed in forum , ruled out], , refrushing add ad componets , telling use dcpromo [which in banner know]): - whether installing component cuase / require reboot (currently believe qwave , printing services require reboot)   - xml output, can't justify team looking see if can commality with full server   fwiw :j   hi,   oclist not have qualifiers or ways change output. when iis came in late, make oclist output longer, unfortunately late make significant changes.   i'll take feedback , add our list next version.   thanks,   andrew   ...
