After installing the WSUS server role on your server, you need to properly configure it. The following checklist summarises the steps involved in performing the initial configuration for your WSUS server. Configure network connections. Before you start the configuration process, be sure that you know the answers to the following questions Is the servers firewall configured to allow clients to access the server Can this computer connect to the upstream server such as the server that is designated to download updates from Microsoft Update Do you have the name of the proxy server and the user credentials for the proxy server, if you need them By default, WSUS is configured to use Microsoft Update as the location from which to obtain updates. WSUS to use the proxy server. WSUS and the Internet, you might have to configure the firewall to ensure that WSUS can obtain updates. Tip. Although Internet connectivity is required to download updates from Microsoft Update, WSUS offers you the ability to import updates onto networks that are not connected to the Internet. When you have the answers for these questions, you can start configuring the following WSUS network settings Updates Specify the way this server will obtain updates from Microsoft Update or from another WSUS server. Proxy if you identified that WSUS needs to use a proxy server to have Internet access, you need to configure proxy settings in the WSUS server. Firewall if you identified that WSUS is behind a corporate firewall, there are some additional steps that must be done at the edge device to properly allow WSUS traffic. Connection from the WSUS server to the Internetif there is a corporate firewall between WSUS and the Internet, you might have to configure that firewall to ensure WSUS can obtain updates. To obtain updates from Microsoft Update, the WSUS server uses port 4. HTTPS protocol. Although most of corporate firewalls allow this type of traffic, there are some companies that restrict Internet access from the servers due the companys security policies. Internet access from WSUS to the following list of URLs Important. For a scenario in which WSUS is failing to obtain updates due firewall configurations, see article 8. Microsoft Knowledge Base. The following section describes how to configure a corporate firewall that is positioned between WSUS and the Internet. Because WSUS initiates all the network traffic, you it is not necessary to configure Windows Firewall on the WSUS server. Although the connection between Microsoft Update and WSUS requires ports 8. WSUS servers to synchronize with a custom port. Connection between WSUS servers. WSUS upstream and downstream servers will synchronize on the port configured by the WSUS Administrator. By default, these ports are configured as follows On WSUS 3. HTTP and 4. 43 for HTTPSOn WSUS 6. Windows Server 2. HTTP and 8. 53. 1 for HTTPS are used. The firewall on the WSUS server must be configured to allow inbound traffic on these ports. Connection between clients Windows Update Agent and WSUS servers. The listening interfaces and ports are configured in the IIS sites for WSUS and in any Group Policy settings used to configure client PCs. The default ports are the same as those specified in the preceding section Connection between WSUS servers, and the firewall on the WSUS server must also be configured to allow inbound traffic on these ports. Configure the proxy server. If the corporate network uses proxy servers, the proxy servers must support HTTP and SSL protocols and use basic authentication or Windows authentication. These requirements can be met by using one of the following configurations A single proxy server that supports two protocol channels. In this case, set one channel to use HTTP and the other channel to use HTTPS. Note. You can set up one proxy server that handles both protocols for WSUS during the WSUS server software installation. Two proxy servers, each of which supports a single protocol. In this case, one proxy server is configured to use HTTP, and the other proxy server is configured to use HTTPS. To set up two proxy servers, each of which will handle one protocol for WSUS, use the following procedure To set up WSUS to use two proxy servers. Log on to the computer that is to be the WSUS server by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group. Install the WSUS server role. During the WSUS Configuration Wizard discussed in the next section do not specify a proxy server. Open a command prompt Cmd. To open a command prompt as an administrator, go to Start. In Start Search, type Command prompt. Command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. User Account Control dialog box appears, enter the appropriate credentials if requested, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue. In the Command prompt window, go to the C Program FilesUpdate ServicesTools folder. Configure. SSlproxy lt proxyserver proxyport enable, where proxyserver is the name of the proxy server that supports HTTPS. Close the Command prompt window. To add the proxy server that uses the HTTP protocol to the WSUS configuration, use the following procedure To add a proxy server that uses the HTTP protocol. Open the WSUS Administration Console. In the left pane, expand the server name, and then click Options. In the Options pane, click Update Source and Update Server, and then click the Proxy Server tab. Use the following options to modify the existing proxy server configuration To change or add a proxy server to the WSUS configuration. Select the check box for Use a proxy server when synchronizing. In the Proxy server name text box, type the name of the proxy server. In the Proxy port number text box, type the port number of the proxy server. The default port number is 8. Ff the proxy server requires that you use a specific user account, select the Use user credentials to connect to the proxy server check box. If the proxy server supports basic authentication, select the Allow basic authentication password is sent in cleartext check box. Click OK. To remove a proxy server from the WSUS configuration. To remove a proxy server from the WSUS configuration, clear the check box for Use a proxy server when synchronizing. Click OK. 2. 2. Configure WSUS by using the WSUS Configuration Wizard. This procedure assumes that you are using the WSUS Configuration Wizard, which appears the first time you launch the WSUS Management Console. Later in this topic, you will learn how to perform these configurations by using the Options page To configure WSUSIn the Server Manager navigation pane, click Dashboard, click Tools, and then click Windows Server Update Services. Note. If the complete WSUS Installation dialog box appears, click Run. In the complete WSUS Installation dialog box, click Close when the installation successfully finishes. The Windows Server Update Services Wizard opens. On the Before you Begin page, review the information, and then click Next. Read the instructions on the Join the Microsoft Update Improvement Program page and evaluate if you want to participate. If you want to participate in the program. Next. On the Choose Upstream Server page, there are two options Synchronize the updates with Microsoft Update.
