SUS (Software Update Services):

SUS (Software Update Services):

It is a new feature of 2003. When our network client or servers wat their updates from internet, if internet is available to all the client machines whole network will be busying updating OS &software. This leads to network traffic

To overcome this problem we have to use a separate server configure as SUS, which is connected to Internet and obtains updates. Client machines instead of contacting Internet for updates contact the intranet SUS server for updates. This can be scheduled.

SUS software has to be downloaded from the internet and also I.I.S.
