In this video i will show you how to configure Software Update Services in Group.

 

In this exercise, you learn how to configure Software Update Services in Group Policy on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller.
  1. In the Active Directory Users And Computers tool, right-click the domain and select Properties.
  2. Click the Group Policy tab on the domain Properties dialog box and select the Default Domain Policy. Click the Edit button.
  3. Expand Default Domain Policy, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update to access the Windows Update settings.
  4. Double-click the Configure Automatic Updates option.
  5. The Configure Automatic Updates Properties dialog box appears. On the Settings tab, you can configure whether automatic updates are not configured, enabled, or disabled. If automatic updates are enabled, you can select Notify For Download And Notify For Install, Auto Download And Notify For Install, or Auto Download And Schedule The Install. You can also specify the schedule that will be applied for the install day and the install time.
  6. To configure which server will provide automatic updates, click the Next Setting button in the Configure Automatic Updates Properties dialog box. This brings up the Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location Properties dialog box. You can configure the status of the intranet Microsoft update service location as Not Configured, Enabled, or Disabled; you can also configure the HTTP name of the server that will provide intranet service updates and the HTTP name of the server that will act as the intranet SUS statistics server.
  7. To configure rescheduling of automatic updates, click the Next Setting button in the Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location Properties dialog box. This brings up the Reschedule Automatic Updates Scheduled Installations Properties dialog box. You can enable and schedule the amount of time that Automatic Updates waits after system startup before it attempts to proceed with a scheduled installation that was previously missed.
  8. To configure auto-restart for scheduled automatic updates installations, click the Next Setting button in the Reschedule Automatic Updates Scheduled Installations Properties dialog box. This brings up the No Auto-Restart For Scheduled Automatic Updates Installations dialog box. You use this option if the computer needs to restart after an update. You can choose to wait until the next time the computer is restarted or to restart the computer automatically as a part of the update.
