WUA: Clarification on the parameters

[smandel]

Good morning,

I would have liked some clarification on the agent settings for WUA.

For example :

Code: Select all

download_scheduling=2h
install_scheduling=4h

These parameters are recurring according to the documentation.
But is this a recurrence based on the time?
For example, for an installation parameter of "4h" this means: installation at 4 AM - 8 AM - 12 PM - 4 PM,...
Or every 4 hours after the station starts?

THANKS.

If more than 4 hours have passed since its last execution, then the task will run.

Note that we recently added a 10-minute delay after system startup to avoid overloading Windows at boot time; therefore, you may sometimes have to wait 10 minutes after booting.

I should also mention that Microsoft releases a wsusscn2.cab file once a month, so a scan every 7 days should logically be sufficient (even less).

So a computer that starts up in the morning will necessarily install the updates very quickly?

Thank you.
