Hello, I'm new of using WSUS Offline Updater, so I wanted to know what function do these checkboxes? I can't find any documentation of these checkboxes nowhere.

Only prepare ISO / USB
Only create collection script

Isn't the former somewhat the same as USB medium's Copy updates for selected products into directory:? I'm afraid it will be time consuming to test each function of them to find out myself (because of the update scripts running).

Only prepare ISO / USB

If you enable that option the download/check of the repository is skipped and the ISO/USB creation is started directly. Use it if you want to quickly create media and definitely know your files are up-to-date.

Only create collection script

If you enable that option WSUSOU creates a batch/script file that is able to process your selection without the GUI. It is meant as an aid for users who do not know how to use commandline options. Just set all your desired OS and options and let it create the batch file to be run later.

Thank you for the explanations.
