Hi Lawrence,
I have tried on two of the downstream servers to delete the problem computer groups.
- Made the replica server as autonomous downstream server
- Set all updates for that groups to not approved
- Tried to delete the groups but did NOT work with none of the both servers. Error: Unexpected error occurs must reset server node.(http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverwsus/thread/4e57e3ad-a8f8-4da4-8bec-410b0180bc4c) did not help in this case.
The very amazing thing on these servers with the Approved viewing as you see in screen shot, it shows many like ~1200 “Not approved” updates. In such filtered view there must not be shown any updates as Not approved, right?
(Sorry it is not allowed to insert a screen shot in this site. My account must be verified, but how?)
Do you think I must start to reinstall new wsus with all 18 replica servers? This would be a very long work.
Thanks,
kailar
