WSUS - Removing all updates to do with XP?

mrbios · 17 Aug 2010 at 10:17

Is there a way to remove all the updates either previously installed or unapproved from the list?

All our machines are now windows 7 + office 2010 with about 85% of the servers on server 2008R2, i'd rather remove anything to do with XP/office2003/Server2003 from the list of previously synced updates so i can see exactly what applies to us today

I've removed them from the selection lists and attempted the server cleanup but that didn't get rid of the things i unticked

As far as my WSUS server is concerned the command "deleteunneededrevisions" doesn't exist

Ah crap and that doesn't work for what i want to do

My server tells me it has just over 3000 updates on it, about 2500 of those are XP/Server2003/Office2003 and i don't want them anymore, but it won't remove them even with the cleanup util

Might just wipe the WSUS install and start again

I've unselected them from the list of "products and classifications" if that's what you mean

I don't have a "Wsusdebugtool.exe", wsusutil.exe is the only tool i have
