I know its possible to get all the updates from the wsus server.
But is it also possible to only get the approved updates of the wsus server

As far as I know: no.
Currently I do not know any way to request a list of approved updates from a wsus server for a specific OS independent from the currently running one.

Pls. configure your WSUS server as source and add

Code: Select all

wsusonly=Enabled


to the [Miscellaneous] section in your UpdateGenerator.ini file.

This doenst download only the approved updates of the wsus server right? This ALSO download the unapproved

It downloads the updates existing on your WSUS server and skips the others.
I thought unapproved updates won't exist.

Does this help?
I did not check, if it has to run on the server or runs on a client, too.

I am trying to build an ISO/USB for patching my workstations after imaging them.
I have set the WSUS server but it's not using it.
I also added wsusonly=Enabled to UpdateGenerator.ini but it continues to download from the internet.

Some files need to be downloaded from the internet (wsusscn2.cab, and some orhers). Please post the content of .\log\download.log in [code]-tags.

After reviewing the download.log I looks like it was downloading from my WSUS server and going to the internet for the files that did not exist.
Seem like there where a lot. Maybe my WSUS server need some maintenance.

If you could provide a log, I can take a look at it.
Also please post the content of your UpdateGenerator.ini.
