Can I re-use an already downloaded WSUS dir for anoth.Win7?
Posted: 06.11.2019, 16:44
Assume I installed WSUS on a Win7 (pro) computer and let it download all necessary updates.
Can I later copy the whole WSUS directory tree (including the downloaded updates) to another Win 7 computer
and start
UpdateInstaller.exe
over there?
Or do I have to re-start UpdateGenerator.exe at first on the second computer?
In other words:
Is the download archive dir tree of WSUS somehow computer/hardware specific or independent?
I can imagine that WSUS only downloads necessary updates (=omit e.g. SSD generic drivers if there is no SSD on the first computer).
Is the download archive dir tree of WSUS language independent?
Read: Can I install the available, already downloaded updates from an english Win7 on a second (german) Win7 as well?
Thank you
Peter
