Hi,

I have windows server 2012 r2 in air gapped environment (Not connected to internet), it is not updated since 2018. Now i want to update it with all the security patches and updates.
And i don't have any patching solution, what is the best and easy way i can update my servers without connecting to internet. And i have around 25 windows servers with different OS and 15 Win 10 clients which i want to update.

Thanks.

    Hello,

    Microsoft provide a guide that can help on this subject the only issue with this guide is that you will need to have one WSUS connected to the internet to retrieve at least the updates :
