Info

An additional benefit to using a WSUS Server is that the ASM installs Windows Updates much faster.   The WSUS Server works by pre-fetching all necessary updates as they become available.  When the ASM requests an update, the update itself is loaded to the ASM directly from the WSUS Server.

 

  1. On the target WSUS Server, begin the WSUS installation by opening the Server Manager and selecting Add role and feature.
