Hi,

We just got our WSUS 3.0 up and running and inadvertantly approved IE7 for all computers. Darn the luck, it actually deployed, but consequently broke several applications we have in house. We have since declined IE 7 in WSUS and are removing it from the pc's. One machine we removed it from yesterday picked it back up overnight. How can we configure WSUS to ensure that this doesn't get deployed again?

Thanks!

IE7 should appear there. Then you can unapprove it. Here is a cut from TechNet.

To unapprove updates

1. In the WSUS administrative console, click Updates.

2. In the list of updates, select one or more updates that you wish to unapprove. (The updates must have been approved.)

3. In the shortcut menu or the Actions pane, select Not Approved.

4. Click Yes on the confirmation message.

I also accidently approoved IE7 via WSUS 3.0. This morning all machines were installed. As its having conflicts with our systems, we are downgrading back to IE6.
However when uninstalling and rebooting, we still get the yellow install sheild showing the update is downloaded and ready to be installed.
Within WSUS the Update Rollups approval was changed from "Not Approved" to "Declined" to stop any more machines installing it.
My questions are
- how do we go about removing the option from the install sheild?
I'm worried its going to attempt to install this update over night when we certainly do not want that.

I also approved the update to IE7 with the rest of my updates this morning. By early afternoon, I had turned the approved off for IE7 and changed it to not approved. The update has been removed from some of the PC's, but after reboot, it is still coming down. Does anybody have insight into fixing this problem?
