Windows Server Update Services

 

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables information technology administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates to computers that are running the Windows operating system. By using WSUS, administrators can fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers in their network.

 

 

Only one machine downloads the windows updates and stores the updates locally. This creates an option for you to have other machines that need updates to just to go to the WSUS rather than downloading the updates individually.

 

 

WSUS is designed to greatly simplify the process of keeping computers in your organization up to date with the latest critical updates, security updates, and service packs. The updates can be synchronized from the live Windows Update servers and saved on the WSUS server.
