Uninstall IE9 after approved WSUS update

Team,

We recently approved an update on WSUS to install IE9 to all Windows 7 machines. After it was rolled out, we found a problem with IE9 on Windows 7 that affects our agency management system.

We have uninstalled IE9 through Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed update, Scroll to Windows Updates and then right click on Windows Internet Explorer 9 and Uninstall. This sets it back to IE8 which works without issue. The problem is when the computer is rebooted, IE9 reinstalls itself.

So, how do I go about removing the approval of the IE9 update on WSUS so that we can roll back to IE8. Also, can the process automate to uninstall all IE9 updates on Windows 7 machines? If so, how would that need to be setup?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you.
1) This update had already been approved and rolled out to the W7 machines. Can this single update (Internet Explorer 9) be modified on WSUS to change the status to "not approved"?

2) Will installing the Internet Explorer 9 Blocker Toolkit prevent IE9 from being installed on machines even though the update was aproved on WSUS?

3) If the issue with IE9 is resolved at some point in the future, can we remove the Blocker Toolkit and that will permit IE9 from installing?

Thank you
