SBS 2008 Force client updates
|
From: dbitalia on 29 May 2010 15:08 Hi all I have just taken over a network that is running sbs 2008 with multiple xp clients attached. I'm new to the server world so apologies the basic questions. In terms of updates for the clients, I have configured the sbs management console to install updates automatically for the clients. When I visit the client workstations the user still has manual intervention for the updates to happen. Now am I correct in thinking I need to create a group policy on the server to force the updates on the clients... Want them to happen when they log out or restart the pc -- dbitalia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dbitalia's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/226278.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/small-business-server/1341993.htm http://forums.techarena.in

In SBS, use the wizards whenever possible. -- Cliff Galiher Microsoft has opened the Small Business Server forum on Technet!

From: Cliff Galiher - MVP on 30 May 2010 18:07 There isn't a single wizard for all group policies, but many of the task wizards will create the various group policies you need. The wizard for redirecting users' folders, for example, creates a group policy behind the scenes. Since SBS 2008 uses WSUS to manage updates, the post-setup tasks will create the WSUS rules and any group policies needed for WSUS to work. For more information on the tasks and wizards that can and should be run after setup, I recommend picking up a book specifically about SBS. Your local (or online) favorite bookstore should has a few. -- Cliff Galiher Microsoft has opened the Small Business Server forum on Technet!
