Good Morning,

I am nore to using WSUSoffline. Every time I try and run this to gather updates from my WSUS server all the scripts try to talk online and connect to wsusofline.net for downloads or updates.
How do I run this so it just talks to my network WSUS with out trying to call home to program updates?

wsusou requires to connect to the internet. At the first run, it needs to download additional tools, which can't be distributed inside the ZIP. Also it requires to download the the file wsusscn2.cab ( :arrow: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=172 ) from MS as the WSUS does not distribute it. Then it will download all update available on your WSUS it requires from your WSUS, the others will be downloaded from MS (you may prevent this by adding a line
Code: Select all
wsusonly=Enabled
at the end of UpdateGenerator.ini).

If you add a line
Code: Select all
wsusonly=Enabled

at the end of UpdateGenerator.ini, it will pass "/wsusonly" to DownloadUpdate.cmd. This will force the script to download the updates from the local WSUS and not to try the links provided in wsusscn2.cab.

Thanks. A bit more clear using the tool.
