I can not find an option to Import Updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog on windows server 2016.

Does it delete already?

Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

The Import Updates action in WSUS was built using ActiveX, which is now deprecated. This import functionality within WSUS has been replaced with a PowerShell script. The script allows you to import a single update, or multiple updates into WSUS.

Microsoft beat us to it, however AJ Tek had been working on a solution since the middle of July that is more powerful and doing what YOUR FEEDBACK is asking for.

 

https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Import-WsusUpdate/

 

Some examples:

 

Import-WsusUpdate "0373ad3c-3f8f-4123-81f8-6d3d8cd86f6d"

Import-WsusUpdate -KB "KB5026454"

Import-WsusUpdate -KB "KB5026454" -MetadataOnly

Import-WsusUpdate -KB "KB5029244" -MetadataOnly -x64 -Filter "21H2","-Dynamic"

Import-WsusUpdate "0373ad3c-3f8f-4123-81f8-6d3d8cd86f6d" -DownloadPath "C:\MUCatalogUpdateFiles" -DownloadInParallel

 

In the next release, it will be digitally signed by AJ Tek.
