If you run The Server cleanup Wizard, updates imported from the Microsoft Update Catalog that are set as Not Approved or as Declined may be removed from the WSUS server. WSUS does not currently have a supported mechanism for importing files in the *.MSU format. If you access the Microsoft Update Catalog website manually, any updates that you download are not imported into the WSUS server, but instead are downloaded as individual *.MSU files. Note that you must access the Microsoft Update Catalog Site though the WSUS console to ensure that the updates are imported in a WSUS-compatible format. They are not downloaded at the time of import from the Microsoft Update Catalog Site. To download the updates without importing them, clear the import directly into Windows Server Update Services checkbox.Īpproved updates imported from the Microsoft Update Catalog Site are downloaded the next time the WSUS server synchronizes. When you have finished browsing, go to the basket and click import to import your updates. When you have found the ones you want, add them to your basket. You can browse this site for Windows hotfixes and hardware drivers.

In order to access the updates at this site, you must install the Microsoft Update Catalog activeX control. A browser window will open at the Microsoft Update Catalog Web site. In the WSUS administrative console, select either the top server node or Updates, and in the Actions pane click import Updates. To access the Microsoft Update Catalog Site You must be logged on to the computer as an administrator to import the hotfixes.

Any computer that has the WSUS administrative console installed, whether or not it is a WSUS server, can be used to import hotfixes from the Catalog Site. In order to import hotfixes into WSUS, you must access the Microsoft Update Catalog Site from a WSUS computer. The Catalog Site is the Microsoft location from which you can import hotfixes and hardware drivers.

In the Registry Editor (click the Start Menu icon and type regedit), go to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WIMMountįIrst thing to do is make a backup of this entry in case anything goes wrong.
