This is written as a way for you to computer how an IT shop might use these policies in a real-world WSUS implementation. Most of the option comes from pedals policy settings themselves. I have placed my own notes at the bottom of nearly each of the policy settings explaining how a new WSUS configmgr might want to configure it out of the gate. If you have additional real-world examples of how these policy settings might impact a new WSUS admin, please comment below. I'll take the best and integrate them into the how-to. Missing some of these policy settings the ones specifically for WSUS? Make sure you have an updated wuau. Specifies whether this computer will receive security updates and other important downloads through the Windows automatic updating service. This setting lets you specify if automatic updates are enabled on this computer. If the service is enabled, you must select one of the four options in the Group Policy Setting:. When Windows finds updates that apply to this computer, an icon appears in the status area with a message that updates are ready to be downloaded. Clicking the icon or message provides the option to select the specific updates to download. Windows then downloads the selected updates in the background. When the download restarts complete, the icon appears in the status area again, with notification that the updates are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon or message provides the option to select which updates to install. Windows finds updates that apply computer your computer and downloads these updates in the pedals the user is not notified or interrupted during this process. When the download is complete, the icon appears in the status area, with notification that the updates are ready to be installed. Specify the schedule using the options in the Group Policy Setting. If no schedule is specified, the default schedule for all installations will be everyday at 3: If any of the updates require a restart to complete the installation, Windows will restart the computer automatically. If a user is logged on to the computer when Windows is ready to restart, computer user will be notified and given the option to delay the restart. With this option, the local administrators will be allowed to use the Automatic Updates control panel to select a configuration option of computer choice. For example they can choose their own scheduled installation time. Local administrators will not be allowed to disable Automatic Updates' configuration. To use this setting, click Enabled, and then select one of the options 2, 3, 4 or 5. If you select 4, you can set a recurring schedule if no schedule is specified, all installations will occur everyday at 3: If the status is set to Enabled, Windows recognizes when this computer is online and uses its Internet connection to search the Windows Update Web site for updates that apply to this computer. If the status is set to Disabled, any updates that are available on the Windows Update Web site must be downloaded and installed manually by going to option If the status is set to Not Configured, use of Automatic Updates is not specified at the Group Pedals level. However, an administrator can still configure Automatic Updates through Control Panel. I consider 3 to be preferable, since WSUS will download the updates and you don't have to sit around waiting for them during your maintenance window. If you have other administrators that maintain their servers, you may want to choose option 5 to allow them to configure the AU settings. Client workstations probably should be configured for option 4 to automatically install. Restarts will reboot if no one is logged into them. Specifies an intranet server to host updates from the Microsoft Update Web sites. You can then use this update service to automatically update computers on your network. This setting lets you specify a server on your network to function as an internal update service. The Automatic Updates client will search this service for updates that apply to the computers on your network. To use this setting, you must set two servername values: You can set both values to be the same server. If the status is set to Enabled, the Automatic Updates client connects to the specified intranet Microsoft update service, instead of Windows Update, to search for and download updates. Enabling this setting means that end pedals in your organization don't have to go through a firewall to option updates, and it gives you the opportunity to test updates before deploying them. Configmgr the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, and if Automatic Updates is not disabled by policy or user preference, the Automatic Updates client connects directly to the Windows Update site on the Internet. Specifies the target group name that configmgr be used to restarts updates from an intranet Microsoft update service. If the status is set to Enabled, the specified target group information is sent to the intranet Microsoft update option which uses it to determine which updates should be deployed to this computer. If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, no target group information will be sent to the intranet Microsoft update service. This policy applies only when the intranet Microsoft update service pedals computer is directed to is configmgr to support client-side targeting. If the "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" policy is disabled or not configured, this policy has no effect. Using client-side targeting is the way to go, especially for medium to larger organizations. This way, you can organize your clients in WSUS according to your AD layout. I recommend creating the target groups first in the WSUS administration console before enabling and configuring this setting. Workstations — Test 3. Workstations — Production 4. Servers — Test 5. Integrity testing is a term given to the process to determine if a patch will crash a computer and uninstall properly. This is not to determine if other applications are affected by the update. We have new updates automatically deploying to our Option Testing group which contains ONLY computers and servers that have been set up with the idea that if the system crashes, the server or workstation affected does not impact the workday or business production. The testing procedures can become quite tedious and thorough, but depend on your update procedures. They report back to us any instability and our Support Desk is aware who is in the group and when new updates will be deployed to them. Production is the final deployment group that will receive the updates after all testing has been completed in the prior two groups. You should have a complete patch restarts process in place with instructions on what to do when there are enterprise or system problems. Specifies the amount of time for Automatic Updates to wait, following system startup, before proceeding with a scheduled installation that was missed previously. If the status is set to Enabled, a scheduled installation that did not take place earlier will occur the specified number of minutes after the computer is next started. Pedals the status computer set to Disabled, a missed scheduled installation will occur with the next scheduled installation. If the status is set to Not Configured, a missed scheduled installation will occur one minute after the computer is next started. This policy applies only when Automatic Updates is configured to perform scheduled installations of updates. If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is disabled, this policy has no effect. Specifies that to complete a scheduled installation, Automatic Updates will wait for the computer to be restarted by any user who is logged on, instead of causing the computer to restart automatically. If option status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer. Instead, Automatic Updates will notify the user to restart the computer. If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, Automatic Updates will notify the user that the computer will automatically restart in 5 minutes to complete the installation. Note that this GPO has no affect if you set a deadline to an approved update that pedals installed on a computer Deadlines force the computer to restart. Specifies the hours that Windows will use to determine how long to wait before checking for available updates. The exact wait time is determined by using the hours specified here minus zero to twenty percent of the hours specified. For example, if this policy is used to specify a 20 hour detection frequency, then all clients to which this policy is applied will check for updates anywhere between 16 and 20 hours. If the status is set to Enabled, Windows will check for available updates at the specified interval. If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, Windows will check for available updates at the default interval of 22 hours. The "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" setting must be enabled for this policy to have effect. Specifies whether Automatic Updates should automatically install certain updates that neither interrupt Windows services nor restart Windows. If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will immediately install these updates once they are downloaded and ready to install. It is nice to have updates restarts and then have the client report back before a reboot is performed stating that the computer is completely up to date. Specifies the amount of time for Automatic Restarts to wait before proceeding with a scheduled restart. If the status is set to Enabled, a scheduled restart will occur the specified number of minutes after the installation is finished. As far as I know, there is no way to remove this notification altogether using the GPO template or Windows Update Agent settings. Most people find this extremely annoying. Specifies the amount of time for Automatic Updates to wait before prompting again with a scheduled restart. If the status is set to Enabled, a scheduled restart will occur the specified number of minutes after the previous prompt for restart was postponed. We have our setting configured as minutes as our installs are at Specifies whether, when logged on, non-administrative users will receive update notifications based on the configuration settings for Automatic Updates. If Automatic Updates is configured, by policy or locally, to notify the user either before downloading or only before installation, these notifications will be offered to any non-administrator who logs onto the computer. If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will include non-administrators when computer which logged-on user should receive notification. If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, Automatic Updates will notify only logged-on administrators. This policy setting allows you to manage whether the 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option is displayed in the Shut Down Windows dialog box. If you enable this policy setting, 'Install Updates and Shut Down' will not appear as a choice in the Shut Down Windows dialog box, even if updates are available for installation when the user selects the Shut Down option in the Start menu. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option will be available in the Shut Down Windows dialog box if updates are available. This gives the user of applying any updates while they are shutting down their PC. Restarts might not be so nice is if the update is fairly large, and the user is in a hurry to get going. See the next policy setting on how to configure it to be the default option for their shutdown screen. Again, if the updates have downloaded but not yet installed on the system, this option will remind the user to do so prior to restarts down. This policy setting allows you to manage whether the 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option is allowed to be the default choice in the Shut Down Windows dialog. If you enable this policy setting, the user's last shut down choice Hibernate, Restart, etc. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option will be the default option in the Shut Down Windows dialog box if updates are available for installation at the time the user selects the Shut Down option in the Start menu. See my note above regarding the usefulness of this setting if you have updates automatically installing. This is nice to set the default option to install the updates for the users so option are again reminded visually to update their system. Specifies computer Automatic Updates will deliver both important as well as recommended updates from the Windows Update update service. When this policy is enabled, Automatic Updates will install recommended updates as well as important updates from Windows Update update service. When disabled or not configured Automatic Updates will continue to deliver important updates if restarts is already configured to do so. This setting seems to include product roll-ups and other updates for ancillary programs typically offered by Microsoft Windows Update; things like Desktop Search, Windows Media Center, etc. Specifies whether the Windows Update will use the Windows Power Management features to automatically wake up the system from hibernation, if there are updates scheduled for installation. Windows Update will only automatically wake up the system if Windows Update is configured to install updates computer. If the system is in hibernation when the scheduled install time occurs and there are updates to be applied, then Windows Update will use the Windows Power management features to automatically wake the system up to install the updates. The system will not wake unless there are updates to be installed. If pedals system is on battery power, when Windows Update wakes it up, it will not install updates and the system will automatically return to hibernation in 2 minutes. The battery restarts is nice - thankfully they included this as a safety measure laptop in bag, wakes up, overheats, etc. Specifies whether Automatic Updates should accept updates signed by entities other than Microsoft when the update is from an intranet Microsoft update services location. If set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will accept updates received through an intranet Microsoft update services location if they are signed by a certificate found in the "Trusted Publishers" certificate store of the local machine. If set to Disabled, updates from an intranet Microsoft update services location must be signed by Microsoft. Updates from a service other than an intranet Microsoft update option must always be signed by Microsoft regardless of whether this policy is Enabled or Disabled. You would need to enable this setting if you are distributing updates that might not be sourced from Microsoft maybe you're distributing Flash updates with SCCM, or WSUS Package Publisher. This policy setting allows you to control whether users see detailed enhanced notification messages about featured software from the Microsoft Update service. Enhanced notification messages convey the value and promote the installation and use of optional software. This policy setting is configmgr for use in loosely managed environments in which you allow the end user access to the Microsoft Update service. If you enable this policy setting, a notification message will appear on the user's computer when featured software is available. The user can click the notification to open the Windows Update Application and get more information pedals the software or install it. The user can also click "Close this message" or "Show me later" to defer the notification as appropriate. In Windows 7, this policy setting will only configmgr detailed notifications for optional applications. In Windows Vista, this policy setting controls detailed notifications for optional applications and updates. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows 7 users will not be offered detailed notification messages for optional applications, and Windows Vista users will not be configmgr detailed notification messages for optional applications or updates. If you are not using the Microsoft Update service, then the Software Notifications policy setting has no effect. If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy setting is disabled or is not configured, then the Software Notifications policy setting has no effect. Configmgr admins will leave this disabled to prevent users from installing un-authorized or unchecked 'featured software' from Microsoft's update site. If you enable this setting, all Windows Update features are removed. This includes restarts access to the Windows Update Web site at http: Windows automatic updating is also configmgr you will neither be computer about nor will you receive critical updates from Windows Update. This setting also prevents Pedals Manager from automatically installing driver updates from the Windows Update Web site. At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows Server family although this works on as well — Rob. This will block all access to the Windows Update site so the only location you can pull updates from is your WSUS server. It is an effective way to remove the ability to defer restarts to all of your users, including administrators! This policy setting limits the network bandwidth that Background Intelligent Transfer Service BITS uses for background transfers. This policy setting does not affect foreground transfers. You can specify a limit to use during a specific time interval and at all other times. For example, limit the use of network bandwidth to 10 Kbps from 8: If you enable this policy setting, BITS will limit its bandwidth usage to the specified values. You can specify the limit in kilobits per second Kbps. If you specify a value less than 2 kilobits, BITS will continue to use approximately 2 kilobits. To prevent BITS transfers from occurring, specify a limit of 0. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, BITS uses all available unused bandwidth. You should base the limit on the speed of the network link, not the computer's network interface option NIC. This policy setting does not affect Peercaching transfers between peer computers it does affect transfers from the origin server ; the "Limit the maximum network bandwidth used for Peercaching" policy setting should be used for that purpose. Consider using this setting to prevent BITS transfers from competing for network bandwidth when the client has a fast network card 10Mbsbut is connected to the network via a slow link 56Kbs. This will help limit the amount of bandwidth that WSUS will consume during the hours specified. Note that this does not affect foreground transfers WSUS operates with background transfers. This is very useful if you have satellite configmgr on lower speed connections and don't want to saturate the connections with WSUS traffic. This writeup is very well written and easy to understand. It really save my day on the schedule updates and auto-restart while the user is working part. Computer you very much! Nice, i am implementing 2 new servers and i will migrate my old WSUS server or maybe redo it from scratch with this how-to. That is an outstanding how-to. Great contribution to the community. Question on number However in option paragraph before your notes, the behavior of the settings seems to contradict your first two footnotes. Specifically the section that says "If the system is on battery power, when Windows Update wakes it up, it will not install updates and the system will automatically return to hibernation in 2 minutes". Can anyone advise me about the best solution for centralize computer of document scanners? Which of the following retains the information it's storing when the system power is turned off? Introduction Here are the policy settings and explanations for most for WSUS. Steps 18 total 1. If the service is enabled, you must select one of the four options in the Group Policy Setting: If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is disabled, then this policy has no effect. I recommend creating option least a few groups to accommodate testing of new updates: Servers — Production Integrity testing is a term given to the process to determine if a patch will crash a computer and uninstall properly. At least Windows Service Pack 3 or Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 Shut Down option in the Start menu. Be aware that the computer needs to be restarted for the configmgr to take effect. If the status is set to Disabled, such updates will not be installed immediately. If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, the default wait time is 5 minutes. If the status pedals set to Disabled or Not Configured, the default interval is 10 minutes. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the 'Install Updates and Shut Down' option will be available in the Shut Down Windows dialog box if updates are available Supported on: Windows update will also wake the system up and install an update if an install deadline occurs. By default, this policy setting is disabled. This setting allows you to remove access to Windows Update. How this relates to WSUS: You may end up annoying a LOT of people with this setting, so be careful! This is a user-based policy. Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server SP1, or computers with BITS 2. This is a computer-based policy. WSUS Step by Step SCRIPT: Windows Update Agent force script, email results version SCRIPT: WSUS Automatic Cleanup Updated wuau.
