\n\t\"windows<\/a>What is WSUS? <\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWindows Server Update Service is a program that has been developed by Microsoft for delivering patches and updates to windows operating systems in a corporate environment.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith installing and configuring WSUS in your corporate network you will no longer need to manually install updates and hotfixes that are periodically released by Microsoft.\u00a0 WSUS downloads all updates that are required for your computers in your corporate network and distributes it to your workstations and servers automatically.\u00a0 You can configure and force clients to download and install updates at a certain time through Group Policy.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWSUS saves you time and your internet bandwidth as well as making administration tasks easier. So let\u2019s go ahead and start configuring the WSUS on your server.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
