WSUS in a workgroup environment
0There are situations when client computers are not part of a Windows domain, but you still have to patch those systems using WSUS. Now I bet you ask yourself how those clients get configured if no Active Directory environment is present. I will answer your question in this guide. (more…)
Configure WSUS to use SSL
0You have WSUS in your infrastructure, and now you need to implement SSL because you want to be sure that your clients are connecting to the right WSUS server, the meta data is encrypted, or you are just curious to see how it’s done.

As a result you get reports, so you know witch clients and servers are updated in your network or need updates, you can choose and test the updates before approving them for installation, and your internet bandwith consumption is reduced allot.
