PENDING approved/unapproved updates in wsus

[syed sameer]

Hi prajwal

i have a question for you

what is mean by approved and unapproved updates in WSUS? can you kindly see the screen shot
and guide me exactly what is mean by approved and unapproved updates and do i need to approve it
since im using SCCM for patch deployment ,

and also see the another screen shot with updates with red cross mark what it mean by those updates

If you using SCCM for updates deployment, SCCM will take care of those updates. Do not work using WSUS.

Approve the updates - When you approve an update, you are essentially telling WSUS what to do with it (your choices are Install or Decline for a new update).

Decline the updates - If you select this option, the update is removed from the default list of available updates and the WSUS server will not offer the update to clients, either for evaluation or installation. If an update has been approved and you decide not to install it at this time but want to save it for a future time, you can unapprove the update. This means that the update will remain in the default list of available updates and will report client compliance, but will not be installed on clients.
