In System Center Essentials 2010, you can configure automatic approval for updates that are critical to your organization. You can choose the types of updates that you want to configure with automatic approval, and the computer group to which those updates are deployed.
When you synchronize updates, new updates that are configured with automatic approval are automatically approved and deployed to the specified computer group without any further intervention. However, if an update requires you to accept an End User License Agreement, you have to accept the agreement first.
