CM 2012 Updates only go back 1 year?

[Ocelaris]

We have been on CM 2012 SP1 CU3 for probably about a year but we've just recently moved the server patching to CM. I've noticed that Configuration Manager does not have updates prior to 6/2013... However the WSUS console does have those updates. i.e. WSUS console shows MS11-041 which our audit says we need, but if I look at wsyncmgr.log it says "superseded" but tracking down the supersedence leads me nowhere. I imagine there MUST be at least 1 update from 2011 or 2012 that is not superseded, but I do not see any in our Configmanager console prior to 6/2013.

 

Is there a way to get ALL prior updates into configuration manager?

 

So we have an update MS11-041 which probably has been superseded (KB2525694) but since it no longer shows in the CM console I can't trace backwards... Is there anyway to trace from an old update to a new one? If I just change my "mark updates expired after 400 months" will I get older updates to show up in the CM console?

No that setting is only for updates that are superceded and not all older updates are superceded. Make sure that the view you are looking at is not filtering your updates, because you should be able to see all applicable updates.
