Exclude KB from the Update manager reports

Hi, is there a way to filter out a KB that we have excluded from our maintenance configs, so that it doesn't show up as a missing updates for servers on which we have assigned that maintenance config in the overview page?

Or is the only way is to create our own custom workbook that will show this exclusion?

Thank you in advance and don't hesitate if you have any questions

    • Direct Exclusion in Update Manager:
      • Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to directly exclude specific KB updates from the assessment results in the Update Manager. However, you can configure your maintenance settings to exclude certain updates during scheduled updates. This ensures that the excluded KBs are not applied but doesn't remove them from the "missing updates" list.
    • Custom Workbook:
      • Creating a custom workbook appears to be the most viable solution for filtering out excluded KBs. By designing a custom report, you can tailor the data to exclude specific KBs based on your maintenance configurations. This approach provides flexibility and ensures that your overview page reflects only the updates you want to track.
