Approve and Install How many times?

I'm testing WSUS 3.0 SP1 in my Lab.

I manually picked up 12 Security updates and click Approve on a test group
that contains 12 PCs called Test Group.

However, when I go to Computers section and choose Test Group and select
one of the affected servers I can see that "Approval" is not Approved and
"Status" is not installed?

Do I have to perform another approval again under Computer Section ?? I
dont understand?

tks,

No.

But you may need to refresh that computer group view since the status
changed only moments earlier. If the computer group view had been previously
retrieved (and may still be cached), you might not see the most
up-to-the-millisecond information.

I'm assuming this server is the only server in your testing environment.
There are additional considerations relative to a replica server environment
when the computers in the group are assigned to a replica server, but I
don't believe they apply here.
