Thank you, for this video series! While I am just learning Group Policy Management and on a newer platform, the content is still valid! Thank you again!
Thank you very much for this great video tutorial...I'm just getting into learning how Group Policy works and I found your video instrumental. Keep it coming!!!
I'm fairly new to WSUS...and when I say fairly new I mean completely green. I'm the SysAdmin for a fairly small software company. We don't have a lot of the enterprise level headaches that I know many SysAdmin folks deal with. We're currently running Windows Server 2003 r2 standard edition. I didn't configure this server, it was here when I started about 8 months ago and WSUS was installed by default (so I'm told) when the server was originally configured. When I got here not a single workstation had received a single Windows Update in 18 months. So I had each of those clients grab updates directly from Microsoft until I could figure out what was going on with the WSUS server (they were getting errors when trying to connect to the WSUS server for updates). A few weeks later, everyone was able to connect to WSUS without receiving an error and their workstations were indicating that no updates were needed at this time. I thought I was in the clear...I was wrong. So now when any client or server tries to connect to the WSUS it indicates there are no updates needed. However if I choose to reach out to MS directly for my updates from any client or server I get updates that need to be installed. One server in particular is showing 103 updates that need to be installed. As a basic troubleshooting measure I wanted to check that of the 103 updates that needed to installed on this particular server, were any of them already downloaded and approved for installation on the WSUS server? The answer is a big, fat, YES. So I have updates that are needed according to MS (when connecting directly to them) that are sitting in my WSUS server that aren't getting pushed out. I've gleaned my GPO settings and I don't see anything that seems out of place. I have run all of the client-side wsus commands I can find that would force detection from the WSUS server. Has anyone else out there run into this problem?
@DarkStar5736 : Thank you for the feedback. I have a pretty limited video capture software, but actually more importantly there are other tutorials that I will have several screens on the desktop at once this way I can show you moving back and forth from the console of one system to another. I do understand it's a little smaller however, I'll try to think of a way to resolve that.
This is my scenario. I have a separate server that will handle the WSUS updates. All of my computers go through my server in order to do anything.. So, I need to set up a Proxy server for my WSUS server? If so, once I set the proxy server, where do I do the Group Policy settings? HELP!
Very informative Thank you very much, just the quality of the video needs to be improved because not all people have fast internet connection to view HD videos, otherwise everything is awesome :)
@samrah2009 Thank you, I'm glad that you found the video helpful. If you have any requests for Windows Server Videos please feel free to stop by the website and make a suggestion. Thanks again, Steven
I enjoyed the walk through but future video's you should try to just record the virtual machine. It will make following along without being fullscreen much easier. :)
Pause again GranDad! I'm actually starting a whole new website that's more traditional. There will be whole lessons from start to finish. Check out overworkedadmin I'm very glad you found the videos helpful. I will continue to update this channel for various tuts.

i couldn't find the managing printers through active directory in your uploads :(
Good video, but I'm watching from an iPhone. Would have appreciated not such a tiny resolution
Good work started but not finished yet as the website doesn't have complete AtoZ videos. Hope you fill it sooner..
