IAutomaticUpdateApprovalRule Interface

Applies To: Windows Server Update Services

Use this interface to define and enable an automatic approval rule. The approval rule creates approvals for newly synchronized updates that fall within one of the specified update classifications. To get this interface, call the CreateInstallApprovalRule. If you want to apply this automatic approval rule to updates that were synchronized earlier, use the ApplyRule method. The rule applies only to new updates, not to new revisions of an update. Any changes made to this automatic approval rule will not be saved to the database until you call the Save method.
