Connect to WSUS at Agent install/upgrade

When working in WSUS patching mode, connecting the managed servers to WSUS enables you to scan for and deploy patches immediately after importing the Windows patch database into SA.

After installing or upgrading the SA Agent, the servers can automatically connect to WSUS if the following three prerequisites are met.

  • the managed servers use SA Agent version 10.51 or later
  • the patching mode in the SA Client is set to WSUS
  • the WSUS_URL custom attribute is set at facility/customer/device group/server level

Optionally, you can specify extra SA Agent installer options:

Flag
