Chain WSUS Servers Together

There is a discussion of the benefits and limitations of this process in "Chain of WSUS Servers," in Choose a Type of Deployment earlier in this guide.

To connect a downstream server to an upstream server

  1. On the WSUS console toolbar, click Options, and then click Synchronization Options.

  2. In the Update Source box, click Synchronize from an upstream Windows Server Update Services server, and then enter the server name and port number in the corresponding boxes.

  3. Under Tasks, click Save settings, and then click OK when the confirmation box appears.
