Configuring WSUS for Automox Integration

To configure Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) for Automox, follow these instructions.

Configure Update Files and Languages (Local Caching)

• The Update Languages tab of this wizard is specific to your environment.
• Configure the Update Files tab as follows:
  • Select Store update files locally on this server > Download update files to this server only when updates are approved.
    

Automatic Approvals

• Update Rules: This is specific to your environment. The goal here is to have WSUS automatically approve any update it finds. This rule should mirror the products and classifications that you have configured on your WSUS server.
• Advanced: This is specific to your environment.
  

Configure Devices

• Configure WSUS Server in the Automox console for desired groups.
• Disable OS automatic updates in the Automox console for desired groups (recommended for all groups).
  

Maintaining your WSUS Environment

  Copy

  Invoke-WsusServerCleanup -CleanupObsoleteComputers -CleanupUnneededContentFiles -CompressUpdates -CleanupObsoleteUpdates -DeclineExpiredUpdates -DeclineSupersededUpdates
