WSUS Quick Tips

 

 

 

I manage about 20 servers and one of them is a WSUS server ( Windows Update Server) and here is some quick things that will help you out. If you know anymore please comment !!!

WSUS Quick Tips

To manually initiate detection by the WSUS server

In the CMD type wuauclt.exe /detectnow

 

To manually  update the GP.

pskill wuauclt[or use task manager; I'm unsure if this step is neccesary or good]

net stop “Automatic Updates”

net start “Automatic Updates”

wuauclt /detectnow

 

 

If client machines do not have web access, download the full file Windows Update Client agent Agent from

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264

WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce /quiet to install it remotely.

Add /norestart if you’re doing it during the day (my clients didn’t need a reboot, but ya never know).
