El curso esta bastante bien para aquellos que no hemos usado nunca un servidor de WSUS. Cuenta un poco lo básico para comenzar en la aventura de las actualizaciones (configurar servidores, trabajar con updates, etc...) Si tienes algo de experiencia con WSUS, quizá se te quede corto, peor si vienes de cero (como yo), el curso es ideal.

it is good one, long back in 2010, I implemented the offline WSUS for DMZ site. I was interested to know what all changed. nothing much changes. Well.. I am not the right person to suggest. but, if you would inform the user rights and user privilege to install and configure the WSUS, that would really help lot. as you aware Microsoft says “Log on to the server on which you plan to install the WSUS server role by using an account that is a member of the Local Administrators group”. but we use the SA-Account which have domain admin/localAdmin right on all the systems. One more point, WSUS Admin Groups and ReadOnly Groups creation. most of the time, we use the "Enable Client-Side targeting" group policy, would have explained. what about, if we have two WSUS servers (one primary and secondary) i m not talking about downstream server? how do you configure the group policy? Tell me plz..

Love it!

Some information on optimizing the database after a synchronoization probably would have helped, but I'm not testing this on a server, just a laptop with 8GB of RAM. I got through it though. Thank you for making this course!

Instructor Paul goes over WSUS and Describes most scenarios you might run into in your environment and also touches on troubleshooting and advanced administration. Great for those starting off with WSUS or those that need a refresher course.
