Should I decline unneeded updates, especially Itanium and x64?

Using WSUS 3 SP1. This is kind of the same question but in regards t
2 different things.
1. In general, should I bother to specifically decline unneede
updates? When I look at various views of updates on the WSUS server
I see lots that are listed as "Not Approved" but also show as bein
100% installed. I assume these are updates that all of the PC'
already had installed by the time the WSUS server downloaded th
update info and thus were never flagged as "Needed". Should I bothe
to decline these to get them off the system, or just leave them alone
Does it matter one way or the other for any reason
2. Specifically regarding Itanium and x64 updates. I know this is
hot topic in general. As with many others, we don?t have any of thes
in our environment. The biggest issue is that I don't want the actua
install files for these updates taking up space on my server. We'v
been using the Search function in WSUS to search for any update wit
"Itanium" or "x64" in the title and then declining those. Do w
really need to do this? If there's an update that has differen
versions for 32-bit, Itanium, and x64, and I approve the update i
general, is WSUS smart enough to know that none of the PC's or server
in the system are Itanium or X64 and won't bother to download th
files for those even if I don't explicitly decline them
Thank you!

In general, whether you leave an update "Not Approved", or actually marked
it "Declined" is mostly a matter of personal preference. The primary
advantage to marking an update "Declined" is that it removes it from the
list of active updates
As for your concern about update files, the =files= are not actually
downloaded to the server until you actually approve the update, so if you've
not approved any 64-bit updates, you have no 64-bit packages in your file
store. Whether you decline them or simply ignore them is a matter of
preference.
The Windows Update Agent is smart enough to know the difference between
32-bit and 64-bit updates, and won't try to install a 64-bit update on a
32-bit system, but that would only even be a concern if you'd actually
approved a 64-bit update. Since you have no such systems, there's no reason
to approve such updates; if you don't approve updates, the file content is
never actually downloaded.

There's a configuration setting in Options | Update Files and Languages |
Update Files,
under "Store update files locally..." that's on by default. The setting is
"Download update files to this server only when updates are approved".
If you've never had occcasion to change anything in "Update Files and
Languages" since your initial installation and setup wizard, you've probably
not had occasion to notice these other options -- or the default ones.

Thanks much for your help! I did think of one thing here regarding
leaving Not Approved or declining. If I actually decline, it means
that update will NEVER be available again from that WSUS server,
correct? What I'm thinking of is that I decline an update that none
of the current PC's need, then later we add a PC that isn't as up to
date on patches and needs the one I declined. Then the declined
update will never appear for the PC that was just added. Am I
correct?
I did know that it didn't download the actual files until approved.
What I wasn't sure of is, for example, there's an update that's got a
particular KB #, but there's different versions of the actual update
file for 32-bit, Itanium, and x64. I didn't know if WSUS treated all
the versions as the same update because they all have the same KB #,
or if it truly treated the Itanium and x64 versions as fully separate
updates.
Sounds like you're saying it does indeed treat Itanium and x64
versions of the same general update as fully separate updates.
Correct?
Thanks again!

Well, for as long as it's in the status "Declined". You can always
reconfigure a "Declined" update back to "Not Approved" or "Approved" if it's
later determined that you need the update.
This is correct, which is why you should never decline a *current* update,
even if you do not have an immediate need for that update. Decline should be
reserved for updates for products/platforms that you do not have (e.g.
Itanium Windows Server 2003), or updates that are permanently superceded
(e.g. Defender updates from June 2008).
Correct.
