You could always do a "wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow" on the client - that will force it to report to the WSUS server and then it will go away now instead of having to wait for them to report... just to make sure that waiting will work.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 7:21 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Declining an already approved WSUS update I made a bonehead mistake, and approved the installation of .NET Framework 3.0 (I wanted to just approve the updates to it, so that any system that had it was updated, but didn't want to just generally install it). Luckily, none of my WSUS clients auto-install., so it didn't get pushed out to the clients. But I did see that WSUS thought a substantial number of clients needed it, and now I see that update on the clients, as an update waiting to be downloaded.. Now I've gone back into the list of approved updates, and declined that specific item. I'm hoping that any of the systems that had been listed as "needing installation" from when it was approved, will now just remove that item from the list of needed updates, the next time the clients check into the WSUS server? For example, I still see it in the list of updates waiting to be downloaded on the WSUS server itself, even after declining the update and rebooting. What else do I need to do, to ensure that the v3 Framework is not installed on the clients?
