Server 2008 WSUS how approve all updates

I’ve set up a server 2008 machine as a WSUS server.

Everything looks good so far but wsus now has over 23 000 updates to approve.

I’m only setting up the wsus server to decrease our internet usage because we’re using an expensive microwave connection, once all the currnet updates are approved then I’ll want to manually approve the new ones.

It’s just a bit redundant filtering the older updates since most people have them already.

So my Question is how do I approve all the current updates?
