Re: Pdq Deploy Install With Wsus
Arnau Cyr
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables the administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates. WSUS is a Windows Server server role and when you install it, you can efficiently manage and deploy the updates.
One of the most important task of system administrators is to keep client and server computers updated with the latest software patches and security updates. Without WSUS it would be really hard to manage the updates deployment.
The last section that I want to cover is the WSUS reports. Clicking Reports in the WSUS console shows the list of reports. WSUS comes with several reports to help you find the updates deployment status, sync reports and computers reports.
hello everyone,
i have created wsus server windows 2019. Now all i have set configuration including GPO also clients are showing my console i select 2 system and approve to install when i check from client side downloading is still pending from yesterday shown 0% only so to do the next step kindly help me
now, that i convinced myself to make a new one from scratch, does anyone here know if there is something i have to look out for during installation to avoid having to deal with this problem on the new server again? does anyone know where it comes from? ?
Update: From our investigation so far we have demonstrated if WSUS 2019 / 2016 is installed on a Windows 10 Hyper-V environment we can observer this problem, however in the same Hyper-V environment with WSUS on Windows 2012 WSUS works correctly, if WSUS 2016 is installed on a physical server, Manual Import of Updates work correctly, testing continuing.
Hi Prajwal, window 10 machines were connected with wsus and getting update regular but now machine are out of network and unable to get update directly from internet and showing error computer is managed by organization. In current situation what policy should be applied on domain controller for wsus so that remote machine can get directly from internet as wsus
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables information technology administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates. WSUS is a Windows Server server role that can be installed to manage and distribute updates. A WSUS server can be the update source for other WSUS servers within the organization. The WSUS server that acts as an update source is called an upstream server.
WSUS is a Windows Server role available in the Windows Server operating systems. It provides a single hub for Windows updates within an organization. WSUS allows companies not only to defer updates but also to selectively approve them, choose when they're delivered, and determine which individual devices or groups of devices receive them. WSUS provides additional control over Windows Update for Business but doesn't provide all the scheduling options and deployment flexibility that Microsoft Configuration Manager provides.
Both KB 3095113 and KB 3159706 are included in the Security Monthly Quality Rollup starting in July 2017. This means you might not see KB 3095113 and KB 3159706 as installed updates since they might have been installed with a rollup. However, if you need either of these updates, we recommend installing a Security Monthly Quality Rollup released after October 2017 since they contain an additional WSUS update to decrease memory utilization on WSUS's clientwebservice.If you have synced either of these updates prior to the security monthly quality rollup, you can experience problems. To recover from this, see How to Delete Upgrades in WSUS.
As Windows clients refresh their computer policies (the default Group Policy refresh setting is 90 minutes and when a computer restarts), computers start to appear in WSUS. Now that clients are communicating with the WSUS server, create the computer groups that align with your deployment rings.
Now that the groups have been created, add the computers to the computer groups that align with the desired deployment rings. You can do this through Group Policy or manually by using the WSUS Administration Console.
Here, you see the new computers that have received the GPO you created in the previous section and started communicating with WSUS. This example has only two computers; depending on how broadly you deployed your policy, you'll likely have many computers here.
You can manually approve updates and set deadlines for installation within the WSUS Administration Console, as well. It might be best to approve update rules manually after your pilot deployment has been updated.
Can I deploy .NET Framework 3.5 through WSUS? If so, how? If not, can you recommend another SIMPLE way to deploy it (I say this because the steps to deploy it using GPO Software installs is a nightmare with tons of prereqs, etc.).
Windows will install dotNet offline without affecting the WSUS configuration. This would be easy enough to script into the logon script. I've tried it out on Windows 10, so I guess it would work on previous OS versions too.
We manage domain (with SCCM Client) and non-domain (without SCCM Client) PCs and servers from the same WSUS server. I just want the freaking SCCM Client to stop trying to install from WSUS. Is this possible, I swear every search I do just turns up problems with the updates installing and not preventing the client from trying to install. Currently managing W10, Server 2016 & 2019 with CM v2203 with all hotfixes applied.
I know about the updates on WSUS. But the updates (initial install and update to new version) on WSUS that I know are marked as compatible with Windows 10 Version 1809 to 2004 and not as compatible for Windows Server 2016 (LTSC) and Windows Server 2019 (LTSC). - Same on Microsoft Update Cataloge.
2. After installing Edge (via MSI) on the WSUS-Client and installing all Windows updates it was possible to patch the installed Edge with the updates form WSUS. [Update name: Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel for x64-Editions (Build )]
As per Microsoft's recommendation at the following link, I want to deploy the SCCM client to my client machines using the software update point-based installation method: -us/configmgr/core/clients/deploy/plan/best-practices-for-client-deployment
Question: Is there a simple GPO setting or two I can configure which will automatically install any available Windows updates? Google didn't help me with this and I started looking into the WSUS documentation but it was very long and comprehensive and I think this may be a simple question.
I downloaded the group policy templates for Edge/Chromium from -us/edge/business/download Opens a new window and installed them to my gpo central store. I created a new GPO, linked it to test OU where the test computer is located, and under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates: Policy Definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the central store)\Microsoft Edge Update\Applications\Microsoft Edge\Allow installation set it to Enabled and I set Update policy override to enabled too. I then ran gpupdate /force on the client. I logged into my WSUS server and went to Products and Classifications and put a checkbox in Microsoft Edge under Windows and clicked on OK. Then I did a Synchronize Now and approved Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel Version 79 for x64 based editions for the test computer group. The test computer is a member of the test computer group. I waited for the server to finish downloading the update. I waited for 30 minutes more because it can sometimes take WSUS a little while to synchronize itself before I went back to the client computer and checked for updates. The edge browser did not show up as an update. All of my clients are Windows 10 x64 enterprise licensed, mostly version 1709 or a couple of 1909. WSUS works great for my office and window updates, except one problem: the windows 1709 to 1909 update never deploys, which I will post later. I am probably missing something basic but I don't know what it is. gpresult /z shows the new Edge gpo is being applied to the test computer. What am I doing wrong?
I think it is too early to do it like what you are doing. Did you try to install it manually to check weather if it works with one of your clients? You could also download the MSI and deploy it via GPO or any other tools you are using for deploying MSIs/EXEs.
Sorry I can't remember the source but I read that the WSUS updates apply to machines that already have Edge Chromium installed, so it won't initially deploy from WSUS (at least, not yet) but will patch from there.
I am looking for advice on how the community handles the rollout of EXCLUSIVE updates. If you are familiar with the interface, updates will either 1) Fail if and exclusive update is found, 2) only install the exclusive updates, or 3) only install non-exclusive updates.
Since I would like to schedule our WSUS deployments with PM on a monthly basis, I'm not exactly sure what the Best Practice is here. Right now I choose the 3rd option (above) assuming that more updates will be installed. I then login to those machines and still see updates available - and I'm assuming these are the "exclusive" updates. I have to manually install those separately.
I have a wsus server setup. I know its configured properly because when I check the workstations they have downloaded the updates but have yet to install them which is the issue. Trying to get the end users to update or even restart their computers has been a losing battle. I like to be able to install the updates but not restart. I have tried using the usoClient.exe and its iterations but it only works when the Update Window is open and the command is run. The question is how can i get that Update Window to popup.
I know but my boss wants "updates to be installed without the machine restarting." He wants the end users to restart it themselves. This is because he doesn't want the big wigs freaking out when their computer restarts despite us informing them about the policy and sending out emails. No one reads emails from IT
