Use the following procedure to update the properties of the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server that is used for fabric updates in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). In VMM, you update the properties of the update server to configure a proxy server for use during synchronizations and to change the update categories, products, and supported languages that are synchronized by the WSUS server.

Important

After you add a WSUS server to VMM, you should only manage the WSUS server in VMM.

To update the properties of the Windows Server Update Server in VMM

  1. Open the Fabric workspace.

  2. In the Fabric pane, expand Servers, and then click Update Server to display the Update Server tab on the ribbon.

  3. On the Update Server tab, in the Properties group, click Properties.

  4. On the Proxy Server tab, configure WSUS to use a proxy server when synchronizing updates, or update the port for a proxy server that is already in use.

  5. On the Update Classifications tab, select each update classification that you want to synchronize.

  6. On the Products tab, select each product to include in update synchronizations.

  7. On the Languages tab, select each supported language to include in update synchronizations.

  8. Click OK to apply any changes you make.

Tip

To manually synchronize updates in VMM, in the Fabric workspace, on the Fabric pane, expand Servers, and then click Update Server. Then, on the Update Server tab, in the Update Server Group, click Synchronize.
