WSUS configuration

[Guest mc123]

Hi, I am working with WSUS, and from what I understand a group of computers

that are linked to a WSUS server must either download from MS or from WSUS.

 

I am trying to figure the best way when I have two group of computers and I

want one group to download updates from WSUS while another download from MS.

 

Will I need two seperate WSUS server to accomplish this? If so does this

have to be two physical boxes?

 

Thanks.

Hello mc123,

 

If you have configured the clients to download from WSUS, they only will

use WSUS. Think you are talking about WSUS3 and you are using the wuau.adm

for configuration? Normally you are using WSUS to have control over the updates

and test them before deploying or maybe have a separated network, which has

no internet connection.

 

If you like to have some clients using MS just configure the Automatic update

for them.

 

Best regards

Re: WSUS configuration

 

Sorry for the confusion,

 

I want to approve and monitor all clients in WSUS, but I have some remote

clients I don't want to be pulling updates from central WSUS server.

 

So the clients in my local site are currently using WSUS, but I also want my

remote clients to use WSUS but not download updates from WSUS server, but

rather MS, but again to get approvals from WSUS.

 

So since that options is set globally in WSUS I am thinking I will need two

WSUS Servers where one is set to have clients download updates from MS and

only approvals from WSUS.

 

Note that all clients are directed to WSUS in AD policies.

 

Trying to find the best solution.

Re: WSUS configuration

 

Hello mc123,

 

I am not sure but i think you can not control it and let the client still

go to MS to download. Better post this in

 

microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services

 

Best regards
