Keep Your Network Secure with SolarWinds Patch Manager and Microsoft WSUS.

Microsoft WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) is a free tool that allows organizations to manage and deploy updates to Windows systems on their network. WSUS provides a centralized location for managing updates, allowing IT teams to control which updates are deploying to which approaches. SolarWinds WSUS also provides reporting capabilities, allowing IT teams to track the patch status of systems on the network.

WSUS patch management involves configuring WSUS to download and deploy updates to Windows systems on the network. IT teams can configure WSUS to automatically approve and deploy updates or manually approve updates before deploying them to designs. WSUS can also configure to synchronize with Microsoft Updates, allowing IT teams to download updates directly from Microsoft and deploy them to systems on the network.

One of the critical features of SolarWinds Patch Manager is its ability to automate the patching process. That means that IT teams can set up patching schedules and rules, and the solution will automatically download and deploy updates to systems on the network. That helps ensure systems remain up-to-date and vulnerabilities-free without requiring manual intervention from IT teams.
