I've search here but seems not applicable for SCE 2007. How could I delete the unnecessary updates files to free up the space??
Thank you so much!!

I only have installed the SCE. Where can I find WSUS? Do I need to install WSUS too?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Clown,

Some updates might not be needed in your organization, and you may want to remove them from the default update views in the Essentials 2007 console. To accomplish this, you can use the following procedure to decline an update.

To view declined updates you must create a new view and specify you must make a new view yourself and specify “declined” as the update attribute for the view. You can approve declined updates in that view.

To decline an update:

1. In the Essentials 2007 console, click Updates.

2. In the Updates pane, select the category in which you want to decline one or more updates.

3. In the Results pane, select the updates that you want to decline.

4. Right-click the selected updates and click Decline.

5. After the current view is refreshed, the declined updates may no longer be displayed.

Hope it helps,

WSUS is a built-in part of SCE 2007. To open WSUS console, click "Start" -> "All Programs" -> "Administrative tools", open "Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP1".

Please be reminded that do NOT use WSUS Console to configure the computer groups. Anyway, The SCE and WSUS are not all the same. For example, in WSUS 3.0 environment, there could be a “Computer Group 1” group in “All Computers” group. But in SCE2007 console, “Computer Group 1” will no longer belongs to “All Computers”. The two Computer Groups will be paratactic in the root.

Hello Yog,

By default, there have "Declined updates" view in there.
And i have declined the unuse updates in "Unapproved updates" view, so all the declined updates are already in "Declined updates" view, but the problem is I cannot find the WSUS console before in "Administrative tools", I don't know what's wrong in the installation process.

So I reinstall the WSUS again to ensure the WSUS is okay, after that the link was appear correctly and I can use the Cleanup wizard right now.

Thanks everybody.
