1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,050 What's up, guys? 2 00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:03,770 This is Sohan and you are watching Technical Spark. 3 00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:06,240 In our WSUS series, in this episode, 4 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,230 we are going to see how to approve and deploy 5 00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:12,720 patches on your Windows Client Machines step by step. 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,230 This is one of the very important and crucial part 7 00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:18,870 of the WSUS because when we install and configure WSUS, 8 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:23,160 our main purpose is to serve the updates to all manager machines. 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,590 And in earlier videos, we already 10 00:00:24,590 --> 00:00:27,410 saw how to install and configure WSUS, 11 00:00:27,410 --> 00:00:31,220 as well as we already saw how to configure the GPO so that when 12 00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:33,120 any new machine joins your domain, 13 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,090 it will automatically report to your WSUS server. 14 00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:37,880 So similar way, what I have done here 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,980 is I have approved some patches in my WSUS. 16 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:44,030 For example, let me go to the Updates 17 00:00:44,030 --> 00:00:46,980 and then expand this, All Updates. 18 00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:49,310 If you see, right now, these are the unapproved updates 19 00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:50,460 which is showing here. 20 00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:53,040 So which means this will not install to any of the machines. 21 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,460 But however, if any system requires any patches, 22 00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:58,470 then it will show you in here, Needed Count. 23 00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:00,090 If you don't know how to get that, 24 00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:02,300 simply right click here and choose 25 00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:04,800 what are the desired field you would like to add 26 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,540 into this particular dashboard. 27 00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:09,970 If you want to deploy any of the software, 28 00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:13,680 then you can simply right click and then go to the Approve. 29 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,450 Choose the group where you would like 30 00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:18,400 to add [INAUDIBLE] app updates to be deployed. 31 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,260 Right now, I'm not going to approve this. 32 00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:22,410 But if I go to the top, then you will 33 00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:26,080 observe that some of the updates have already been approved. 34 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,810 So let me show you that. 35 00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:30,900 Simply click on here, Approve Updates. 36 00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:32,190 Refresh. 37 00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:35,040 So these are the updates which I have already 38 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,660 approved in my WSUS, like Microsoft Defender Antivirus, 39 00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:40,870 Software Removal Tool. 40 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:43,320 So these are very crucial and very important 41 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:45,850 updates which should be served on a day-to-day basis. 42 00:01:45,850 --> 00:01:47,350 And if I go to the Computers. 43 00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:49,350 So guys, in Computers, what I'm going to do here 44 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:52,510 is since both the machines are 100% patched 45 00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:57,220 so we'll add one more machine into our this particular WSUS. 46 00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:00,580 We have already configured the policy in GPO. 47 00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:04,290 So if we join any machine in [INAUDIBLE] Active Directory, 48 00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:06,000 then that machine will automatically 49 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,900 report to our WSUS server. 50 00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,130 We don't have to do any manual configuration. 51 00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:13,210 So next what we will do, I have another machine which 52 00:02:13,210 --> 00:02:14,600 I have joined into the domain. 53 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,780 But after joining domain, I haven't 54 00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:19,420 started that machine, which means the first reboot 55 00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:20,800 is not completed yet. 56 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,670 For that, let me turn on that machine. 57 00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:26,650 Here we go, the machine is powered on. 58 00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:28,780 Let me enter the credentials. 59 00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:32,240 OK, guys, now we'll log in with our domain administrator. 60 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,990 So Technical Spark is my domain, backslash, administrator. 61 00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:40,640 So this is the first time I'm logging into the domain. 62 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:42,400 So machine has started now. 63 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,260 Technicalspark.com is my domain. 64 00:02:44,260 --> 00:02:45,830 And the host name is Patching. 65 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:50,360 Now let's go to the Windows, then Settings, Updates. 66 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Great, friends, it looks like my this particular machine 67 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,390 has already detected and has downloaded 68 00:02:55,390 --> 00:03:00,440 one update from our WSUS server and it's asking us to install. 69 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,150 It didn't get installed automatically. 70 00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:02,650 Why? 71 00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:06,250 Because in our GPO policy, we have configured these settings 72 00:03:06,250 --> 00:03:09,970 that download updates automatically and ask 73 00:03:09,970 --> 00:03:11,650 for install. 74 00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:14,850 So it's completely working as per our group policy. 75 00:03:14,850 --> 00:03:17,060 And as you can see in the top, some settings 76 00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:19,640 are managed by your organization. 77 00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,340 Click on Install Now and it will start installing. 78 00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:25,790 Meanwhile, let's check out in our WSUS 79 00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:29,090 server whether this machine is showing in our WSUS or not. 80 00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:32,000 For that, let me jump to the WSUS server. 81 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,790 OK, let's refresh the screen. 82 00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:36,420 Yeah, perfect guys. 83 00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:40,350 It just got updated here, Patching.technicalspark.com. 84 00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:42,930 And patch level is 96%. 85 00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:48,560 And there are almost 67 patches which are needed by this server. 86 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,730 Right now, only one software is getting installed. 87 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,100 But yeah, there are almost 67 softwares 88 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,270 which we need to approve. 89 00:03:54,270 --> 00:03:55,800 So how we can do that? 90 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,190 Let's go to the All Updates again. 91 00:03:58,190 --> 00:04:00,510 Or you can also go to the WSUS. 92 00:04:00,510 --> 00:04:03,650 And if you observe here, Update Status, it says, 93 00:04:03,650 --> 00:04:06,090 updates needed by computer. 94 00:04:06,090 --> 00:04:06,775 Click on that. 95 00:04:06,775 --> 00:04:10,068 [AUDIO LOGO] 96 00:04:10,068 --> 00:04:15,560 97 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,470 So these are basically updates which need 98 00:04:18,470 --> 00:04:20,519 to be approved for our server. 99 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,190 So how we can do that? 100 00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:24,930 Just review all the updates which are available here. 101 00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:25,770 Scroll down. 102 00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:28,680 If you think that one of the updates is not required, 103 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,930 you can unselect that particular update like this. 104 00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:35,780 But right now, I'm going to select all the updates just 105 00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:40,140 for your demonstration and then right click, Approve. 106 00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:43,250 So where exactly my this particular machine is present? 107 00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:45,380 Then it's in unassigned group. 108 00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:49,820 So we have to select that and click on Approve or Install. 109 00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:50,520 OK. 110 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,850 Now it's approving all the updates. 111 00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:54,830 Click on Close. 112 00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:56,790 My updates have been approved. 113 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:58,670 Now if I go to the WSUS, then you 114 00:04:58,670 --> 00:05:01,640 can see there are almost 7 GB of updates which 115 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,530 are getting downloaded now. 116 00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:05,150 Where exactly all the updates will 117 00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:07,280 download in your WSUS server? 118 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,130 So as I said earlier in this PC, I 119 00:05:10,130 --> 00:05:15,110 have created one directory that is D drive. 120 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:19,800 In D drive under WSUS Directory, here your all the patch updates 121 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,600 will get stored. 122 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,510 Now let's go back to All Updates. 123 00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:26,430 Now, guys, let's go to our client machine 124 00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:30,480 to see whether updates got installed or not. 125 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,600 Perfect, the update is installed. 126 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520 Click on Check for updates. 127 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,330 Right now it's not showing any updates. 128 00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:40,890 It's just because our WSUS server is yet to be updated. 129 00:05:40,890 --> 00:05:44,490 Now let me check out the Update History. 130 00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:47,370 Driver update is installed on 19/01. 131 00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:50,610 Other updates is installed today. 132 00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:54,810 So, guys, now let's go back to our WSUS server. 133 00:05:54,810 --> 00:05:59,220 All Computers, perfect, WSUS. 134 00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:01,570 As of now, [INAUDIBLE] has been downloaded. 135 00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:04,870 So I'm not going to cover the other things here 136 00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:07,480 but I'll let you know what exactly will happen. 137 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,110 It will download all the 7 GB of data 138 00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:13,320 in our server, which means all the updates will be downloaded 139 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,160 in our WSUS server. 140 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,660 And then it will start distributing this update 141 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:21,600 to the PC to which these updates are 142 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,120 required, like my recently domain joined machine, 143 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,670 Patching server. 144 00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:29,110 So all these updates will be deployed 145 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:31,250 on that particular machine. 146 00:06:31,250 --> 00:06:33,550 And once the machine is updated, then you 147 00:06:33,550 --> 00:06:36,500 will be able to see 100% status here, 148 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,590 which is right now showing 96%. 149 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:42,340 And the exclamation mark you are seeing here 150 00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:44,240 will be gone automatically. 151 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,410 So hopefully, friends, now you are very much or pretty much 152 00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:50,540 clear that how these things works. 153 00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:52,330 Friends, I hope you have learned something 154 00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:54,685 in this video about WSUS patching. 155 00:06:54,685 --> 00:06:56,560 Friends, if you have found this video useful, 156
