[SOLVED] Using Wapt for MS server updates

Hello,

I have a practical question: is it advisable to use WUA for updating our MS 2022 servers?
In other words, in terms of best practices, can we safely delegate the deployment of updates to our servers to Wapt rather than using a more conventional solution (manual update, WSUS)?

What risks and security aspects should we consider?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards.

Hello,

there are no particular problems using Waptwua on Windows Server. We've always done it internally.

Waptwua is based on an official Microsoft method: https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windo ... es-offline.

No particular problems.

Hello,

I would add that if the same team doesn't manage the servers and workstations, you must create a certificate for both teams (or even better, a certificate for each person) and only push the certificates that have the right to perform maintenance on the machines (i.e., the server admin certificate on the servers and the workstation admin certificate on the workstations).
