Configuring WSUS Update Synchronization

As you can see, WSUS can update hundreds of products, although many may not be useful in your organization. After you install WSUS and do the initial synchronization, you can configure WSUS to identify the specific products for which your organization requires product updates. You can also define the classifications of updates WSUS should download.

Once you define the updates to be obtained (and later provided to WSUS clients), you can configure WSUS to synchronize subsequent updates manually. You can also build an update schedule and have WSUS update automatically. In this way, you can have WSUS download only the updates for the product categories and the classifications you have selected at your chosen time. The first initial synchronization can take hours, depending on your selections. Subsequent synchronizations pull only the newest updates since the last synchronization.
