Connect SA managed servers to WSUS

To be able to scan for and deploy required WSUS patches, connect your Windows managed servers to WSUS. This enables WSUS to communicate with the Windows Update Agent available on the managed servers.

Prerequisites:

Make sure each SA managed server can access the WSUS URL set for it as a custom attribute at the Facility/Customer/Device group/Server level. SA cannot patch servers that do not have direct access to WSUS as these connections are not routed through the SA gateway mesh.
Check that the managed servers you want to connect to WSUS are using SA Agent version 10.51 or later.

You can connect managed servers to WSUS either:

When installing the SA Agent

Go to the Administration > Patch Settings and make sure that the Microsoft WSUS patching mode is enabled.
Add the following custom attribute at Facility or Customer level:
Name Value
WSUS_URL <protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>

Name	Value
`WSUS_URL`	<protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>

Go to Devices > SA Agent installation and select the servers on which you want to install the SA agent.

Optionally, you can specify extra installer options:

Flag

Flag	Arguments Enclose multiple arguments in double quotes.
`--wsus_cfg_args`	`--setupConnection`. Mandatory argument. `--wsusURL` - specifies a WSUS URL that overrides any custom attributes already set for the selected managed servers. Optional argument. `--ignoreWSUSModeCheck` - ignores that WSUS patching mode is not enabled on the core. Optional argument.
`--wsus_cfg_skip`	Does not run the WSUS configuration script.

Arguments

Enclose multiple arguments in double quotes.

--wsus_cfg_args

--setupConnection. Mandatory argument.

--wsusURL - specifies a WSUS URL that overrides any custom attributes already set for the selected managed servers. Optional argument.

--ignoreWSUSModeCheck - ignores that WSUS patching mode is not enabled on the core. Optional argument.

--wsus_cfg_skip Does not run the WSUS configuration script.

When upgrading the SA Agent

Go to Administration > Patch Settings and make sure that the Microsoft WSUS patching mode is enabled.
Add the following custom attribute at Facility, Customer, Device Groups or Servers level:
Name Value
WSUS_URL <protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>
Go to Devices > All Managed servers, right-click on the servers on which you want to upgrade the SA Agent and select Run > Agent Upgrade.

Name	Value
`WSUS_URL`	<protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>

Optionally, you can specify extra installer options:

Flag

Flag	Arguments Enclose multiple arguments in double quotes.
`--wsus_cfg_args`	`--setupConnection`. Mandatory argument. `--wsusURL` - specifies a WSUS URL that overrides any custom attributes already set for the selected managed servers. Optional argument. `--ignoreWSUSModeCheck` - ignores that WSUS patching mode is not enabled on the core. Optional argument.
`--wsus_cfg_skip`	Does not run the WSUS configuration script.

Arguments

Enclose multiple arguments in double quotes.

--wsus_cfg_args

--setupConnection. Mandatory argument.

--wsusURL - specifies a WSUS URL that overrides any custom attributes already set for the selected managed servers. Optional argument.

--ignoreWSUSModeCheck - ignores that WSUS patching mode is not enabled on the core. Optional argument.

--wsus_cfg_skip Does not run the WSUS configuration script.

When provisioning a server

Go to the Administration > Patch Settings and make sure that the Microsoft WSUS patching mode is enabled.
Add the following custom attribute at Facility or Customer level:
Name Value
WSUS_URL <protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>
Start the provisioning process. See Performing SA provisioning.

Name	Value
`WSUS_URL`	<protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>

Before running compliance scans

If you have not connected your Windows servers to the WSUS server during Agent installation or upgrade, you can run an SA script to manually make your servers available for WSUS patching.

Go to the Administration > Patch Settings and make sure that the Microsoft WSUS patching mode is enabled.
Add the following custom attribute at Facility, Customer, Device Groups or Servers level:
Name Value
WSUS_URL <protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>
Go to Devices > Servers > All Managed Servers and right-click on a server that you want to connect to WSUS.
Select Run Script > Configure Server With WSUS from the context menu. This launches the Configure Server With WSUS.bat script file from Library > By Folder > Opsware > Tools > Patching.
On the Run Server Script wizard, click Next and specify any custom options for the script.
Click Start Job then click Close when the import is complete.

Name	Value
`WSUS_URL`	<protocol>://<WSUShostnameOrIP>:<portNumber>

Parameters for the Configure Server With WSUS script

The following parameters enable you to change the default behavior for running the Configure Server With WSUS .bat file on the selected servers.

--wsusURL - specifies a WSUS URL that overrides any custom attributes already set for the selected managed servers.
--ignoreWSUSModeCheck - ignores that WSUS patching mode is not enabled on the core.
