how do I get a list of needed updates for a computer or a computer group?

and then how do I approve those updates for the computer or the group?

Thanks

@Andrew

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "starting from scratch"?

You can run the following code to decline all updates in WSUS:

[void][reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")

$wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::getUpdateServer(“WSUSServer”,$False)

$wsus.GetUpdates() | ForEach {

Write-Verbose ("Declining {0}" -f $_.Title) -Verbose

$_.Decline()

}

Hope this helps...
