"Needed" updates for clients in SCCm 2012

Hi SCCM 2012 Gurus,

I just had a question about viewing "Needed" updates in SCCM 2012, just like we have in WSUS, you can have a Client Group then look at "Needed" updates. How does this come across in SCCM 2012? I have device collections, but have no Idea how I can see this. This is not a show stopper, but will this be required to be done in reporting services? it was pretty simple in Wsus. Sorry I am still a Newb with SCCM 2012.  I hope this question makes sense.

You want to know the updates which are pending or updates needed per client?

Updates Needed. Just so I have a good Idea of What's out there in my environment. This was handy in WSUS, it helped me decide what updates I need to approve, or what software I need to remove from clients to so I can stop needing to apporve those update. Hope this makes sense.

If you've used WSUS you would know what I mean. Also, SCCM uses WSUS, hence I was curious to see this. Or else how do I see what updates are required on a machine in SCCM? When you say Pending do you mean that a software update deployment has been set up but the deadline is not reached? if thats the case, then no, I dont mean "Pending"
Do you want to use auto approval for say, critical updates?

The answer is no! But it has changed to a YES! in 2012 version.


============================================

No, in SCCM, the admin has to decide what updates to deploy. When you deploy them with the DSUW, it essentially "approves" them.

Hi NPsingh, unfortunately I dont think you're understanding the question. Have ever used WSUS to patch machines? I am not sure why you're sending me links about automatic approvals.
