I am using WSUS. I want to setup a test computer group so that I can add
computers to these groups which will have the updates installed for testing.
If the testing is OK and then I want the updates to be installed on all
other computers in the All computer group.
I have created a test computer group and have added my test computers. How
do i next setup WSUS to install updates on this computer group only.

Then if successful how would I setup on WSUS to install updates on rest of
the computers. Is this automated process or do i have to make a setting
changes after the updates are installed on the test computers.

Approve the updates for only that computer group using the Approve Updates
dialog box.

Then, set the "All Computers" approval dropdown to "Install".

Further information on using the WSUS Administration Console can be found in
the WSUS Operations Guide available from the microsoft link below.
