Update with Wapt Enterprise

Good morning,
We have the enterprise version.
1) Knowing that we only want to install critical and security updates on our client PCs, and that we have configured the filters "Critical only", "All products", and "Security Updates" below in WAPT, are these the only filters necessary and sufficient for what we want to do?
I'm asking because the labels on Wapt are different from those on WSUS. See attached screenshot.

2) The "Pilots" and "Pilot games" classifications do not exist on Wapt. Why?

3) To generate an agent in Wapt, what exactly does the "Allow all updates by default" checkbox do?

Thank you all,
Mr.

Good morning

2) The "Pilots" and "Pilot Games" classifications do not exist on Wapt. Why?

Unfortunately, Microsoft's wsusscn2.cab file does not include these categories

3) To generate an agent in Wapt, what exactly does the "Allow all updates by default" checkbox do?

This indicates wapt's default behavior towards cabs. It either accepts them by default, or rejects them by default (box unchecked).

Generally, updates are refused by default, then a WUA rule package is created to allow cabs.

You can also allow default severities by adding allowed_severities=critical to the waptwua section of wapt-get.ini:

Hello,

"We can also allow default severities by adding allowed_severities=critical in the waptwua section of wapt-get.ini."

Is this not possible when generating a new agent?
Is it mandatory to build a Wapt package?

Have a good day,

Yes, indeed

example package:

Code: Select all

def install():
    inifile_writestring(makepath(install_location('WAPT_is1'),"wapt-get.ini"),'waptwua','allowed_severities','critical')

Thank you.
Could you answer the first question:

1) We want to install only critical and security updates on our client PCs. Below, in WAPT, we have configured the filters "Critical only," "All products," and "Security Updates." Are these the only filters necessary and sufficient for our purpose?
I ask because the labels in WAPT are different from those in WSUS. See the attached screenshot.

Actually, with "allowed_severities" you allow KBs with the severity level specified in the parameter.

In WaptConsole, this is the criticality column.

There's also the allowed_classifications parameter, which corresponds to the "classification" column, but this parameter is neither documented nor tested ...

Good morning,
So with the configuration currently available on Wapt, I don't have all the critical and security updates?
See the attached file, it's a screenshot of the configuration in question.
Thank you very much and have a good day
Mr.
