Install WSUS Role on Windows Server 2019.Introduction to Windows Server Update Services.For me the most important complain is that updates just don’t install properly on Server 2016. I hate Windows Server 2016 because I have spent lot of time in troubleshooting windows update issues. After Server 2012 R2 I believe Server 2019 is a stable release. I have chosen Windows Server 2019 to install and configure WSUS. That’s because the moment you start using SCCM to deploy updates, you forget about the WSUS console. It been quite a long time that I have actually configured anything in WSUS. I will also cover some WSUS basics which answers basic questions and the importance of WSUS. So I decided to publish this guide that is exclusively for admins who wish to install and configure WSUS to manage updates in their setup. So he was looking for a guide that can help him setup and configure WSUS from scratch. The company where he works uses only WSUS to deploy the updates to computers. Since then I have been using Configuration Manager and never bothered to focus on WSUS.įew days ago a colleague on mine contacted me and asked if I can publish a post on setting up WSUS on Windows Server 2019. In addition to that I also published a post on WSUS troubleshooting. That includes installing WSUS and configuring WSUS. In the past I have published several posts on WSUS. This guide should help you if you decide to install and configure WSUS from scratch.
In this post I will cover the steps to install and configure WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) on Windows Server 2019.
