Hello there.
We have several machines we have to remotely update that can't access our normal WSUS server or the internet due to politics ... (so much fun isn't it?!). so we are transferring data manually to these machines.
I'm a bit new to WSUS offline, so i wanted to verify this will work before we start investing a lot of time into this procedure.
The basic idea is to simply when we transfer the data over, we keep a local copy of the data on the machines and set it to skip any old files. Theoretically this should allow us to push only the new data to the machine (it took 4-9 hours to push 2.73gb over the pipe we had) and update the machines at a faster rate.
So, by simply running WSUS offline, on the same folder, it should update the files for the newest updates. Then i transfer that folder over to the machines and set to skip overwriting the same files. Thus saving a 4-9 hour upload time. Hoping to get it down to 1-2 hours.
Would this plan work or are there any issues i should be aware of with WSUS offline?
