WSUS Approved updates to wrong group

[daneil16]

Hi all, made a little boo boo.

 

I have approved IE11 update for all my computers rather than test group and 30% have downloaded the before I could decline it. The computers have not been restarted yet.

 

Will the computers know not to install the update now I have declined it even though they have downloaded it? Or do I have to log onto each machine and uninstall the update after the restart?

 

I have Server 2008R2 and Windows 7 desktops. Also the reason I am worried is that a major website does not like IE11 and only like IE9 currently

 

Thanks!!!

Is it the latest IE11 update - February 2016? If yes, don't worry it's absolutely fine.

No it's the original IE 11 install from 2014. I wanted to test it on a couple of machines in my test group but somehow it deployed to everything. :-(

Oh sorry - I mis-read your original post. IE9 officially is now discontinued on Windows 7 - only IE11 is supported, since January 2016.

 

Best I can advise is test the website, otherwise (as you say), you'll be forced to manually uninstall IE11. I don't think you can uninstall centrally.

Can't you just roll it out and use a GPO to push sites to compatibility mode that need it?

Yeah shouldn't be using ie 6,7,8 or 9.

It is possible command line. Though don't use IE 6,7,8,9,10. IE vulnerabilities are probably being reversed engineered. Use comparability mode and/or enterprise mode.
