I have patch management set to deploy patches automatically upon approval.  I also have two automated configuration templates defined:  one for workstations, one for servers  that is scheduled to deploy the approved patches at a particular time.

 

There is one workstation that cannot run IE8 due to issues with a critical financial website that only functions properly with IE7

 

My question is:

    1.  Is there a way to deselect the particular workstation from receiving IE8 updates, without creating a new configuration template for just this workstation?

 

I'm just thinking out loud here, for example; when approving a patch, im thinking I should be able to select which workstations will/will not receive it.  Even though there is already a Workstation template setup to deploy approved patches.  So basically, I want to approve the patch, deselect 1 workstation, at the time of workstation deployment it will skip the deselected station.

 

Hope this wasn't too confusing.
