    Today, Microsoft released an updated version of the Approval Analyzer tool and updated the Knowledge Base article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912307.

     The new version of the tool addresses an issue discovered last week where some updates not approved by the SUS administrator could be deployed. That issue only affected the original version of the Approval Analyzer tool.  Therefore, Customers who have followed the manual steps in the KB need not take any action.

    Customers who have not yet taken steps to address the issue discussed in KB 912307 or who ran the original version of the Approval Analyzer tool should download and run the new version of the tool.

    Microsoft has been made aware of an issue with the Approval Analyzer. We have removed this tool from Microsoft.com while we address the problem.

    The problem could cause some updates not approved by the SUS administrator to be deployed. Therefore we urge customers to not use the tool if they have obtained it until a new version is available. This issue does not affect customers who have followed the manual steps in the Knowledge Base article 912307. Therefore customers who wish to can follow the manual steps in the KB.

    When we have completed the new version of the tool it will be made available through the Microsoft Download Center. A link will be provided in a revised version of Knowledge Base article 912307 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=912307.

    Just an update the  SUS 1.0 Approval issue after synching with WU for the
    updates released 12/13/05.
    We have now republished the KB (    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912307)
    which contains a location for a script, which in addition to the previously
    released workarounds, can be used to assist in resetting previous
    approvals.

    thanks- Bobbie

  • SUS 1.0/SP1 issue after synching 12/13/05 updates

    If you synchronize your SUS 1.0 SP1 server after Dec 12, 2005 all previously approved updates may be unapproved and the status may appear as “updated”.  Newly deployed SUS 1.0 SP1 servers which have not previously synchronized with Windows Udpate before 12/12/05 will not encounter this issue. 

    If "Automatically approve new versions of previously approved updates" is selected in the SUS Options page, the software updates will appear updated but not unchecked. You will not be impacted by this issue.  See  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912307 for more information.

    Hi WSUS admins,

    Many of you have asked what the IMF Exchange update is about and why is it not installing.  The Update for Intelligent Message Filter on Exchange Server 2003: 2005.12.06 (KB907747) should not have been published to WSUS.   This update cannot be installed from clients downloading from WSUS, and will be expired by this evening/tomorrow (12/8/12/90.  You many have also noticed the update KB is broken for this update so no detail is available.  Information on this update will be officially published next week on the MU site where further detail will be available.  -thnks Bobbie
