New WSUS server

Question

Hi,

We are curenly using a WSUS which runs on a Windows Server 2012R2. Since there are a performance issues on that server, we've decided to deploy a new WSUS server (Windows Server 2019). We are using an option "Use Group Policy or registry settings on computers".
I would like to know if I could use existing GPOs and just change server path ("Specify intranet MS update service location) to point to a new WSUS server?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, you can simply change Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to point everything update to the new WSUS 2019 server, it'll take up to a few hours to re-download all the updates on the new WSUS 2019 server.
