WSUS 3.0 Feature Questions

[Guest Gareth]

Hi folks,

 

Apologies if this question is not in the right section for WSUS, if not

please could you point me in the right direction for posting such queries.

 

I've just installed WSUS 3.0 into our test lab and find myself wondering as

to whether a number of features exist within WSUS. These are:-

 

Audit capability - Can you tell who (user account) and when a particular

update or updates were approved ?

 

Note taking capability - Is it possible to make a note as to why a

particular update was approved or declined ?

 

Security - Is it possible to secure WSUS in order that only certain users

can approve updates for certain groups ?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

 

Gareth

It appears that newgroup isn't on the managed list, so I don't get a

guaranteed response there, so I'll just wait for the post to (hopefully) get

answered here.

 

cheers
