1 00:00:01,340 --> 00:00:06,050 The first software We'll take a look at his Microsoft Update. 2 00:00:06,190 --> 00:00:10,780 The service takes care of the automatic updating of an operating system and a large number of the most 3 00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:14,110 popular Windows programs such as Microsoft Office. 4 00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:23,080 And as Cuil server you can also change the default recommended setting and update programs manually. 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:32,240 In this case the service will issue notifications unavailable updates. 6 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:38,830 How does Microsoft Update word is fully automatic process runs a system service that runs on the schedule 7 00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:44,320 every 1722 hours this schedule is not fixed. 8 00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,910 The randomness of intervals helps to prevent all computers connected to the Internet. 9 00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:55,280 Attempting to reach Microsoft Update servers to check for and download updates at the same time 10 00:00:58,010 --> 00:01:00,710 this wouldn't scale well. 11 00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:06,250 Our computer connects to the service and downloads a digitally signed file and ex-MIL document that 12 00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:13,710 has the latest information about available updates the information is detailed and contains also knowledge 13 00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:15,640 articles on a specific update. 14 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:24,200 This means that we have an authoritative and trusted source of information on updates for the current 15 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,700 time. 16 00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:29,340 We know what updates should be installed. 17 00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:32,310 Now that's enough to compare your computer configuration. 18 00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:37,980 The list of installed updates against what should be installed against the list contained in a digitally 19 00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:39,440 signed SLM file 20 00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:46,860 next steps depend on your selected settings. 21 00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:53,550 When those installer asks the question if your selected option differs from Microsoft's recommendations 22 00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:59,130 your notification bar in the bottom right hand corner of the screen will contain notification messages 23 00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:07,120 you might receive messages and new updates or updates might be automatically downloaded but not installed 24 00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:13,650 or the process might be fully automatic. 25 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:19,600 The procedure is completed with an update of computer progress information. 26 00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:23,560 The point of that is to repeat the steps in another 17 to 22 hours 27 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:37,660 as we mentioned a WS US server is a component of the Windows Server 2008 system this software has purchased 28 00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:43,660 along with a system we don't mean to advertise some solutions or force them on you. 29 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:50,640 But you might act on the assumption that if you buy something you might as well use it especially if 30 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,880 the software is as useful as W-S us. 31 00:02:57,990 --> 00:03:03,600 If you manage a small sized enterprise you probably also test with security as well as administrative 32 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,100 works this combination is rather peculiar in itself. 33 00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:17,780 Since the administrators task is to make users work as easy as possible and make a system fully functional. 34 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:23,580 In contrast security professionals task is essentially making users lives more difficult. 35 00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:30,390 Security staff have to implement solutions that are secure and not above all convenient. 36 00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:38,810 Smaller businesses usually join the two functions if apart from this you're also saddled with a couple 37 00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:45,260 of more responsibilities taking up another duty and another service that requires monitoring and configuration 38 00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:49,880 is probably the last thing you want to hear about. 39 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,350 If this is the case it ws US server is a good solution. 40 00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:57,730 The server works as a proxy server for Microsoft Update 41 00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:06,970 our configuration will be less intricate to know when you see in the diagram We'll have the W-S US server 42 00:04:07,150 --> 00:04:12,060 and directly client computers. 43 00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:18,220 Additionally the client computers will not be grouped in any way the client computer that is a member 44 00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:24,250 of a domain will have a local W-S US server configured as a localization of the windows update service 45 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:33,950 through group rurales all this takes is to set three options and group rules klank computers will then 46 00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:42,070 connect to our W-S us server instead of connecting after 17 to 22 hours to Windows Update. 47 00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:44,810 They will check if there are any updates available. 48 00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:49,870 The role of our server is to synchronize a local copy of the selected update. 49 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,680 You can specify if you're interested in updates in a given language version and in updates for a specific 50 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,370 type of software if they're available. 51 00:05:01,370 --> 00:05:05,990 The computers will simply download them a benefit. 52 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:11,330 This configuration provides is that once updates are downloaded from the internet and saved on a single 53 00:05:11,330 --> 00:05:15,160 computer's disk they will be sent over the entire network. 54 00:05:17,190 --> 00:05:20,050 The process is made quicker and more failsafe. 55 00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:28,780 Now the range of possibilities offered by a W-S us server extends beyond the symbolists configuration. 56 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:32,270 You could take some time and experiment with configurations in the server 57 00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:49,620 above you can see a W-S U.S. server console and the windows server 2008 version this tool offers among 58 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:54,720 other things the feature to divide computers into groups. 59 00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:59,920 You can split computers for example into two groups and set different automatic update approval options 60 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:00,980 for both of them. 61 00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:09,960 One group can be made for test PCs and another for computers belonging to senior management. 62 00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:16,830 You probably wouldn't want to run experiments and see if things work after they update on those PCs. 63 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:23,160 Moreover all computers will support information on their progress. 64 00:06:23,230 --> 00:06:29,530 If you open a window you'll see the data related to all computers in a domain or computers that connect 65 00:06:29,530 --> 00:06:37,620 to a WS U.S. server the information also contains a summary as well as graphic reports that show update 66 00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:42,600 progress and percentages for specific machines and potential missing updates. 67 00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:48,600 This breakdown is offered per computers per updates and per software.
