I work in a SCCM 2007 environment that requires lengthy User Acceptance Testing which delays updates being deployed immediately. I am underresourced to deploy updates every month and therefore I have a lot of expired updates that need deploying in between my update cycles. If I deploy updates without testing I run the risk of stopping critical apps from working (particularly Web apps from experiance) as a result of untested patches.
Is there any way to perhaps "Un-Expire updates" as I understand the only workaround seems to be to put each individual update into a software distribution package and deploy that way which is very tedious.
