Then they won't automatically download and install updates. The WU client won't do anything unless it's configured to do so. The WU client behavior is independent of WSUS configuration. If an update isn't approved on WSUS, the WU client won't even consider it. If the WU client isn't told to download/install, it doesn't matter what WSUS is doing. At least, that's the documented behavior, and I've never seen anything else. (Well, the WU client can update the WU client itself without asking, but that's "outside" the regular update mechanism (at least in XP).) Now, the next time you tell your server (WU client) to check for updates, maybe it will say it needs to download and install 42 billion updates, I dunno. But it won't do it without asking. And I have no idea what is or isn't going on in WSUS server. :-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
