Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)

WSUS (previously called Windows Update Services) is the new name for the next version of Software Update Services (SUS). WSUS is a patch and update component of Windows Server and offers an effective and quick way to help you get secure and stay secure. WSUS represents an important step toward delivering a core software distribution and update management infrastructure in Windows. WSUS has both a server and client component.

Normally you would be required to retrieve these updates directly from the Microsoft WSUS Server. This can be a time consuming exercise as the associated data has to come from overseas servers. As an added value service to our @datec internet customers we have implemented a WSUS server in PNG. This Server is updated daily and is a replica of the WSUS servers located at Microsoft. You are now able to download the latest Microsoft updates locally which will be a lot faster than going to the Microsoft servers. There are no subscription costs to this service. It is intended to provide our customers with a facility that will save both time and money when downloading the latest Microsoft updates.

Listed below are the platforms that support WSUS client:

• Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) and later
• Windows XP and later
• Windows Server 2003
