How to Cheat at Managing Windows Server Update Services
Automate Patch Management Across Your Network
If you manage a Microsoft Windows network, you probably find
yourself overwhelmed at times by the sheer volume of updates
and patches released by Microsoft for its products. You know
these updates are critical to keep your network running
efficiently and securely, but staying
current amid all your
other responsibilities can be almost impossible. Microsoft's
recently released Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is
designed to streamline this process. Learn how to take full
advantage of WSUS using Syngress's proven "How to Cheat"
methodology, which gives you everything you need and nothing
you don't.
Deploy WSUS in the Enterprise
Synchronize updates in large networks by configuring an
upstream Software Update Services (SUS) server to host
updates and metadata for multiple downstream servers.
Patch All Your Most Critical Microsoft Software
WSUS now upgrades the latest versions of Windows, Office,
Exchange, SQL Server, and MSDE.
Take Complete Control of the Update Process
Manage updates precisely from the initial download through
approving, targeting, scheduling, installing and, if
necessary, removing updates.
Consolidate Status Reporting
Define, develop, produce, and publish reports directly from
WSUS.
Integrate WSUS with Active Directory
Use your existing Active Directory and network management
infrastructure to update computer groups based on type,
model, role, criticality, and location.
Migrate from SUS to WSUS
Perform an in-place upgrade or an across-the-wire upgrade to
migrate updates and approvals from a SUS server to a WSUS
server.
Change Your Local Storage Location
Use WSUSUtil.exe to change the hard disk used by WSUS for
storing updates.
Manage WSUS on the Go
Use the robust Web interface to administer WSUS from remote
locations.
