WSUS - removing unneeded updates. Do you have a machine that, in the past, was configured to use WSUS, but has now been moved and is unable to receive updates because the WSUS settings are bad? I ran into this and decided to document the steps.
I have a Windows XP machine that has the indicator in the systray that Microsoft .Net 2.0 Framework is ready to be installed. If you shutdown the PC, you have the option to install it there as well.Unfortunetly Microsoft .Net 2.0 Framework breaks a local application and must not be installed. I have since declined the install being pushed with WSUS;
1. How do I remove a pushed Windows Update from wanting to be installed on the XP machine?
2. I may need to do this manually, so where can I find the installer's location, and remove it from the local machine?
