Microsoft Browser Choice Update – WSUS

March 15th, 2010 by Alex Leave a reply »

I got bored waiting for KB976002 to show up in my WSUS install so after a little googling I discovered you can manually sync it in to WSUS.

On the front page of the WSUS console under resources there’s a link to “Microsoft Update Catalog”. If you click through that you’ll be asked to install an ActivX control at which point you can search Microsoft Update for KB976002 and manually sync it on to your WSUS install.

Once it’s synced over, you can then manually approve or decline it as you wish.

Apparently it won’t be showing in WSUS automatically until April.

    cheers for sharing that, i was looking for an answer to this too…

  3. Thanks for the information, although the only available update via the catalog is for XPx86 and XPx64. No Vista or 7. Will these be released under a different KB?

    When I searched I got about 6 results, for Vista, Windows 7 and XP both 64 and 32 bit versions.

    Everything I know is in the article, so if it’s not showing up for you then I’m afraid you’ll have to start Googling to see if there has been a change.

  5. Looks like there is an update 23.03.10 to the existing KB that will cover Vista and 7:
