Automate Patch Management Across Your Network If you manage a
Microsoft Windows network, you probably find yourself overwhelmed
at times by the sheer volume of updates and patches released by
Microsoft for its products. You know these updates are critical to
keep your network running efficiently and securely, but staying
current amid all your other responsibilities can be almost
impossible. Microsoft's recently released Windows Server Update
Services (WSUS) is designed to streamline this process. Learn how
to take full advantage of WSUS using Syngress's proven "How to
Cheat" methodology, which gives you everything you need and nothing
you don't.

Deploy WSUS in the Enterprise Synchronize updates in large
networks by configuring an upstream Software Update Services (SUS)
server to host updates and metadata for multiple downstream
servers.
Patch All Your Most Critical Microsoft Software WSUS now upgrades
the latest versions of Windows, Office, Exchange, SQL Server, and
MSDE.
Take Complete Control of the Update Process Manage updates
precisely from the initial download through approving, targeting,
scheduling, installing and, if necessary, removing updates.
Consolidate Status Reporting Define, develop, produce, and
publish reports directly from WSUS.
Integrate WSUS with Active Directory Use your existing Active
Directory and network management infrastructure to update computer
groups based on type, model, role, criticality, and location.
Migrate from SUS to WSUS Perform an in-place upgrade or an
across-the-wire upgrade to migrate updates and approvals from a SUS
server to a WSUS server.
Change Your Local Storage Location Use WSUSUtil.exe to change the
hard disk used by WSUS for storing updates.
Manage WSUS on the Go Use the robust Web interface to administer
WSUS from remote locations.
