Hello, I've setup scheduled tasks exactly as specified in the below post for updating separate groups of machines, Wednesday: Test Group 10am Friday: All workstations10am Friday: All servers 5am.
Schedule Groups for Updates using Update Management Wizard
I've chosen the option to "Download and install all needed approved updates" this means the updates need to be manually approved by myself before they downloaded/deployed to the groups in my scheduled tasks. This is the desired behaviour as I'd like to view the updates and select them for approval before being deployed so I have a clear overview on all released patches.
This is all fine, however I have a problem that when I choose to "Approve" any needed update it prompts me to select a computer group and I have to choose a computer group before I can proceed with the approval. I don't want to choose a computer group as these have been set in the above scheduled tasks.
Am I missing something, is there a way around this?
Here's the details for Wednesdays Test Group scheduled task:
