The web interface to Microsoft's Software Update Services (SUS) forces you to approve each update individually. This makes the initial deployment of a SUS server especially tedious. By directly modifying the SUS catalog files, an administrator may approve all of the updates at once.
Approve updates in bulk by first approving the initially empty update
list. Continue by editing the following files (where WWWROOT is the
location of the directory containing your SUS web site):
- WWWROOT\ApprovedItems.txt
- Replace the string
,0@|with,1@|everywhere in the file. - WWWROOT\autoupdate\administration\history-approve.xml
- Replace the
string
unapprovedwithapprovedeverywhere in the file. - WWWROOT\autoupdate\dictionaries\ApprovedItems.txt
- Replace the
string
,0@|with,1@|everywhere in the file.
Return to the SUSAdmin interface and re-approve the updates (they will all be selected).
