Hi. I have a WSUS, which contain all necesarry updates for OS's, which installed on PCs of my company. But WOU downloads them from MS site, what is really unwanted for my network, which is sensible for a traffic. How to download updates only from WSUS?

If you enter the WSUS URL in UpdateGenerator and also add "wsusonly=Enabled" at the end (section [Miscellaneous]) of UpdateGenerator.ini, wsusou will download updates just from your WSUS. Some files (wsusscn2.cab) still need to be downloaded from MS as the WSUS does not provide them.

Thanks. However, I have this (below on the screenshot). Is any way to avoid such behavior of WOU (downloading from MS site, even of wsusonly=enabled)?

A few static files need to be downloaded directly from MS (Internet Explorer, wsusscn2.cab, Windows Update Agent) once as the WSUS server does not provide them / does not provide them in a format wsusou is able to parse.

In fact I have downloaded around 5 GB of files, thus I want to ask - does any WSUS server have file strutcture like %SERVERNAME%/content/%ANOTHERFILES%

Cuz when WOU downloads files from mein WSUS, it's was a fail on each file.

Did you download and approve the updates on your WSUS?

Updates download every day, so mein WSUS is up to date. But it's not my responsibility, because WSUS handles not by me. I'm sure, that's all updates WSUS already have, but how "feed" them to WOU? Also, how approve it?

Hm.. I can't attach the log (txt files are restricted here), nor I can't post it, because my message contains 1384898 characters. The maximum number of allowed characters is 60000. What can I do?

Just the last part after the last "----------------"-line.
