What is Software Update Services (SUS)?

Rating:

Software Update Services (SUS) is a tool used to acquire and distribute critical Windows patches to computers running Windows operating systems. Administrators use SUS to download and test the patches, and then deploy the patches to the appropriate computers running the Automatic Updates clients. SUS consists of three components:

  1. Software Update Services (SUS) that runs on the server.
  2. Automatic Updates (AU) that runs on client computers.
  3. Group Policy settings that control AU clients from Active Directory.
SUS does not support Microsoft Office or Microsoft BackOffice products. It updates the operating systems (except Windows NT or Windows 9x), Microsoft IIS, and Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) only.
