Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Overview

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is a server role in Windows Server that enables administrators to manage and distribute updates released by Microsoft to computers in a corporate environment. It allows for centralized control over the update process, ensuring that systems are kept current with the latest security patches and feature updates.

WSUS is used by IT professionals and system administrators to streamline the deployment of updates across their network. It helps to conserve bandwidth by downloading updates once from Microsoft and then distributing them locally, and provides reporting capabilities to track update compliance within an organization.
