Inital WSUS Configuration |
If you got this far, you have installed your WUS Server, and about ready to configure it for the first time. If you have not yet installed your WUS Server, see the detailed installation instructions on the Installing WUS - BETA 2 page.
To setup, configure and manage your WUS server, you need to gain access to the WSUS Admin site on your WSUS Server:
<<setup16>>
From here you should do the following:
1. SET Server Options
This includes:
- Schedule - when to synchronise this WSUS Server
- Products and Classifications - define which patched to download. In particular, which products to download patches for (e.g. Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro, etc) and what type of updates to download (this includes security updates, driver updates, DDKs, tools, guidance, Feature Packs etc).
- Proxy Server Settings - you can specify a specific proxy server to use for updates,along with credentials if needed.
- Update Source - where this WSUS server should get it's updates: from Microsoft, or an upstream WSUS server.
- Languages - allows you to get language specific patches. NB: By Default, WSUS RC is set to download ALL languages. This is potentially harmful to your disk subsystem.
After you complete the configuration, ensure you save your options.
2. Perform Initial Synchronisation
By default, WSUS is synchronised manually.Once you configure your WSUS server, you should perfom an initial synchronisation. Depending on how many products, classifications and languages you have selected, and the speed of your internet connection, this could take a considerable amount of time.
3. Configure and Test Clients
