Scenario 4: Deploying using WSUS
This scenario is not supported for the RC1 version of SP1.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables you to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates to computers running the Windows operating system. By using WSUS, you can fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers in their network. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=94244.
When SP1 is released, you will be able to download SP1 by synchronizing your WSUS servers.
Note
The package that is installed contains the prerequisite packages and SP1 together. This entire package will be downloaded to each destination computer—unlike with Windows Update, where only the components that are needed for a specific computer are installed.
Note
The destination computer will restart multiple times during the installation.
To deploy SP1 using WSUS
-
1. Ensure that your WSUS server is configured to synchronize Windows Vista service packs.
2. Synchronize your WSUS server.
3. Locate the SP1 package and approve it for the appropriate target groups.
