Hi all,
Inside company there is a WSUS server for computer and servers updates.

I would get Microsoft Edge update an automatic approval.

I tried to create a new rule in "Automatic Approvals > New Rules...
I selected "When an update is a specific product" and than I selected "Microsoft Edge" (I showed it in the picture)

After that I created new update view in WSUS console and I noted that there are differnet types of "MIcrosoft Edge updates" (Beta, Dev, Stables).
I would only deploy "Microsoft Edge stable updates" on computer company.
Is there a way to create this filter? I noted that all kinds of Edge update is classified as "Updates".

Can I use this updates if clients has got Microsoft Edge Business ( I would use this version of Edge to centralize management using GPO)

Thanks!
Federico

    Hi FedericoCoppola-2569,

    Thanks for your posting on this forum.

    In my opinion, we could not refine the type of approved updates further by Automatic Approvals Rule. But we could set the deadline for the approval and decline all the useless updates before the deadline.

    By the way, we could also try to deploy the Microsoft Edge updates for the clients by SCCM.

    Hope the above will be helpful.

    Regards,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    After that I would deploy and manage update of Microsoft Edge Business.

    Are updates the same for Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Edge for Business right?

    Probably I can evaluate to deploy every major release with GPO (GPO to deploy software MSI).

    Best regards!
