Hi,
>>I have tried this approach on a test box, but the automatic approval settings are not been pulled through when I converted the current replica to a standalone.
We can only approve updates on primary server, which means that the replica server doesn't need the auto approval rules. The replica server synchronizes the approval state of the updates from primary server.
>>1. Can I just used the configuration wizard to switch the roles? will this suffice? what gotchas should I look out for?
Yes. But you need to configure the option manually on the server.
>>2. Will all approved updates remain approved when the replica server is changed to standalone
Yes. The approval status is a property of the updates.
>>3. How can I ensure all settings on the primary server is imported to the replica?
As I have mentioned in the Q1, you need to configure the option manually.
Best Regards.
