I am trying to figure out WSUS but I've hit a few issues. First, I am new to this office and do not frankly know if it was ever used or if anyone attempted to set it up but 3.0 is installed. I opened it under admin tools and played around a bit, and got it to do a massive synchronization. Now there are about 2,500 updates listed (not downloaded but they show in the all updates field).
I realize that most of these are not even remotely relevant to my needs and I have figured out how to control which updates are even checked when synchronizing, so I would like to completely clear this field and start over, unchecking the things I don't need before doing another synch so I will only see relevant updates here. I cannot figure out how to remove them however! They are not downloaded as I said, but I am afraid to decline them all as won't this prevent them from being shown in the future? I am sure there are some updates in there that I want/need but I cannot really sift through all 2500 to find and approve the necessary ones!
Also, some updates appear to be duplicates... how/why is this happening? They have the same title, KB# and everything but different dates...
Lastly, when I view computers, nearly every workstation has a yellow exclamation mark and says it has not checked in for a large number of days (37, 52, etc) which I do not understand as these computers are signed into on the domain every day. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
