Hello,

how can I separate the Secunia 3rd Party Updates from the normal WSUS Updates. We have some computers that should receive only normal Windows Updates and some other that should receive both 3rd Party and Windows Updates. The problem is that the Computers that are not aware of CSI (no certificate installed, no 3rd party updates allowed in the GPO) still become the 3rd party updates and then those updates fail, because of the missing certificate. Is there a nice way to separate the Computers in two groups - only Windows updates and Secunia + Windows Updates for those who want both?

thanks

The first question would be : how are your computers now managed on the wsus?
Lets say you have somethings like this on your wsus

\sales
\office
\whatever

in my opinion the only way would be to further seperate the groups i.e.

\sales\csi

and put the machines in there
that way all the machines in

\sales would get the "normal" windows updates

and if you only approve the updates for
\sales\csi
ony the machines in that container will get the updates

you could also create two groups if you prefer that
\sales\csi
\sales\normal

or whatever ...


Greetings

Joe

Thank you very much, now I located the problem. There is a similar thread where I found the solution. CSI Updates are treated as Security Updates and on our WSUS we have a policy that approves automatically the security updates. So after I fixed that the Updates are not automatically approved for all the groups, instead I can approve them for certain groups say "csi". That is the next problem. Now we must approve every single update manually, but we want that csi updates are approved automatically (only) for the WSUS group CSI. Does anybody know a way to do this? Probably I would start a new thread for this question. (As you know on the WSUS product list there are no CSI Updates shown, so that we cannot chose that group and create a rule on the wsus)

thanks again

Ok now I have the solution for the problem, letīs say we have in the wsus 3 Groups:
/All
/only security updates
/csi + security updates

/only security updates -becomes security updates, but deselect a MS product, so that no CSI Updates are automatic delivered to that group

/csi + security updates -create a new rule security updates selected for all products

last but not least, beware that no undergroup inherits the rules for the
"/csi + security updates" because it would become also CSI Updates

Thus some groups become only normal updates, some become normal + csi updates and the csi updates are automatically approved for all groups that have all security updates in WSUS as an automatic rule.

bye
