Software updates in Configuration Manager 2007 displays different icons for objects (software updates, update lists, deployment templates, deployments, and deployment packages) and the state of the object. This provides an easy way to determine the state of an object by the icon displayed in the Configuration Manager console. The following table groups the icons by software updates object and provides the icons, the icon names, and icon descriptions.
Software Update Icons
There are four different colors for the icons used for software updates. The icons can also contain a lock indicating that the software updates metadata was synchronized at a site server higher in the Configuration Manager hierarchy, usually the central site. The properties for locked software updates cannot be modified.
| Icon | Icon Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Software update icon |
Specifies a normal software update. |
|
|
Expired software update icon |
Specifies that the software update is expired. Expired software updates cannot be deployed. |
|
|
Invalid software update icon |
Specifies that the software update is not valid. This usually occurs when the update file is missing for the software update. To resolve this issue, download the software update to a deployment package. |
|
|
Superseded software update icon |
Specifies a software update that has been superseded by another update. |
|
|
Metadata-only software update icon |
Specifies that the software update consists of metadata only and not an associated update file. Metadata-only software updates are available in the Configuration Manager console for reporting and cannot be deployed or downloaded. |
