WSUS Smart Approve


WSUS Smart Approve is a console application designed for managing the Windows Server Update Service. Its purpose is to approve updates as they are detected as being needed, rather than download a vast amount of unnecessary downloads through following an "approve all" approach. It is intended to be run on a regular basis as a scheduled task to ensure timely approvals.



Key Features:



  • Approval of updates as they are detected

  • Console application for easy management

  • Required administrator access for operation

  • Customize detection settings



Configuring WSUS Smart Approve:


To configure WSUS Smart Approve, follow these steps:



  • Open the WSUS MMC Console

  • Untick any undesired update types



Note: If you prefer not to approve updates automatically, consider deleting the default rule. This decision allows for more control over the approval process.
