Ok thanks, so is there a way to then create groups within WSUS to place certain servers that only &quot;download&quot; certain updates (and wait for approval) based on their classifications? 
</div>


<div>
Have you used the automatic approval rules ?<br />

<div>
You would use client side targeting to apply to certain groups(I.E. servers)<br />

<div>
What does &quot;Important&quot; update mean when the Windows 7 client sees that?<br />
Assuming they're pointing to WSUS, obviously they will get updates automatically.<br />
But if &quot;Important&quot; is an update classification in Windows Updates for Windows 7, what's the equivalent of that in WSUS - critical?
</div>


<div>
Thanks guys I think I have a better understanding now.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am looking for a break-down/appendix of the different classifications WSUS includes.<br />
For example what's the difference between Critical and important, etc.<br />
Does anyone know where I can find one and that is up to date with version 3 (the latest compatible with Server 2008 and Windows 7)?
