Hello everyone,
I have some questions that I have not been able to find my own answer to and I am turning to the forums in an effort to figure out the answers.
I manage a number of clusters using SCVMM 2012 R2 and have my WSUS server on a different server. I am interested in leveraging the update feature of SCVMM. After installing WSUS, I checked the configuration to ensure it was configured to not download updates locally. After adding it to the fabric, I went through and configured the classifications and products. Essentially, the only thing I really want is Windows Server 2012 R2 updates at this current time. So I went through and selected just that.
After doing so, I was going to create my baseline but it lists updates for products that are not what I had selected. I see updates for products such as previous versions of Windows and Office. I also noticed that within the WSUS console, SCVMM appears to have changed the system so that it downloads files locally to the WSUS server.
I suppose the heart of my post is around two questions
- Is there a way to limit the updates when creating the baseline? Obviously, I can search for terms but it would be way easier for them to just not be there. Is this possible?
- Is there a way to keep the setting so that WSUS does not download the updates? I know it takes longer if I let the system download it fresh each time but that is not something we mind. I was just hoping to keep the size down for my WSUS server.
