Restrict to only install "security patches" only at dl time?

Postby pstein » 26.03.2017, 10:23

When I start

/client/UpdateInstaller.exe

then there is no option "Install Security patches only".

So users MUST define this already in first download step.

I cannot download all (including non-security rollup packages) but install later security patches only.

Is this correct?

If you're using writable sources for installation you can edit the file "UpdateInstaller.ini":
Code: Select all
seconly=Enabled


If your installation source is read-only please use .\cmd\DoUpdate.cmd:
Code: Select all
DoUpdate /seconly {other options}

Thank you.

I wonder why there is no corresponding GUI option in Installer.

This should be urgently added in next WSUS release

Why should there be one? When you download, you decide to go the one or the other way. The resulting media will only contain the patches you opted in for, the INI will be adjusted automatically.

A media created with seconly set won't contain the full packs, AFAIK. And vice versa.
