Hello all
I found this great script allowing to skip certain Microsoft Updates. The SkipUpdates Array works great for excluding Bing and Microsoft Essential or even KB numbers, however for Internet Explorer 11, it continues to install despite using different methods from using IE11's KB article number to Internet Explorer keyword (for example: "Internet Explorer" or "Internet Explorer for Windows 7" . Below is the script.
Any ideas?
Const ssDefault = 3Const ssManagedServer = 1
Const ssOthers = 3 'Microsoft Updates
Const ssWindowsUpdate = 2 'Windows Updates
'Array of updates to skip.
SkipUpdates = Array("Internet Explorer", "Microsoft Security Essentials", "Bing")
