How To Install WSUS on Windows Server 2008

 Install WSUS on Windows Server 2008

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables information technology administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates to computers that are running the Windows operating system. By using WSUS, administrators can fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Up
date to computers in their network.



WSUS allows administrators to control and distribute Windows updates from a central location. This free patch management solution can be installed on Server 2003 or Server 2008.

WSUS Prerequisites:
  1. Server 2008 or Server 2003 SP1
  2. BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)
  3. IIS (Internet Information Services)
  4. MSDE database or SQL 2005 Database
  5. .NET Framework 2.0 or higher



Install WSUS on Windows Server 2008

  1. Open Server Manager > Add Roles
  2. Install “Windows Server Update Services” Role


Configure on Windows Server 2008

  2. Use existing SQL 2005 Server or choose Windows Internal Database
  3. Use the existing IIS site, click Next
  4. Click Finish
Now you can further configure WSUS by using WSUS MMC. WSUS MMC can be accessed from Administrative Tools or Server manager.
