Connect SA to a WSUS server

Before importing patch and patch metadata from WSUS, configure SA to communicate with your WSUS server.

To connect SA to an upstream WSUS server:

  1. Configure WSUS to synchronize with Microsoft Update.

  2. Approve/decline patches in WSUS to filter which patches are visible in SA.
  3. Deploy the WSUS Web Service to set up the communication with the SA core. SA downloads all patches and associated metadata to the SA core and then distributes them, as required, to the managed servers that you connect to WSUS.
  4. Connect managed servers to WSUS to make them visible for compliance scans against WSUS patches.
