Description

The Set-WsusDynamicCategory cmdlet sets the synchronization status of a dynamic category in a specified Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.

Examples

Example 1: Set the synchronization status of a dynamic category

PS C:\> Get-WsusDynamicCategory -DynamicCategoryType Device -Name "PCI/Device07" | Set-WsusDynamicCategory -Status Blocked

This command gets a dynamic category from the local server by using the Get-WsusDynamicCategory cmdlet. The command passes the dynamic category to the current cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The current cmdlet sets the synchronization status to Blocked. This value means that no updates are synchronized for this dynamic category.
