WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.050 What's up, guys? 00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:03.770 This is Sohan and you are watching Technical Spark. 00:00:03.770 --> 00:00:06.240 In our WSUS series, in this episode, 00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.230 we are going to see how to approve and deploy 00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:12.720 patches on your Windows Client Machines step by step. 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.230 This is one of the very important and crucial part 00:00:15.230 --> 00:00:18.870 of the WSUS because when we install and configure WSUS, 00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:23.160 our main purpose is to serve the updates to all manager machines. 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:24.590 And in earlier videos, we already 00:00:24.590 --> 00:00:27.410 saw how to install and configure WSUS, 00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:31.220 as well as we already saw how to configure the GPO so that when 00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:33.120 any new machine joins your domain, 00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:36.090 it will automatically report to your WSUS server. 00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:37.880 So similar way, what I have done here 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.980 is I have approved some patches in my WSUS. 00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:44.030 For example, let me go to the Updates 00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:46.980 and then expand this, All Updates. 00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:49.310 If you see, right now, these are the unapproved updates 00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:50.460 which is showing here. 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.040 So which means this will not install to any of the machines. 00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.460 But however, if any system requires any patches, 00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.470 then it will show you in here, Needed Count. 00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:00.090 If you don't know how to get that, 00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.300 simply right click here and choose 00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:04.800 what are the desired field you would like to add 00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:07.540 into this particular dashboard. 00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:09.970 If you want to deploy any of the software, 00:01:09.970 --> 00:01:13.680 then you can simply right click and then go to the Approve. 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.450 Choose the group where you would like 00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:18.400 to add [INAUDIBLE] app updates to be deployed. 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.260 Right now, I'm not going to approve this. 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.410 But if I go to the top, then you will 00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:26.080 observe that some of the updates have already been approved. 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.810 So let me show you that. 00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:30.900 Simply click on here, Approve Updates. 00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:32.190 Refresh. 00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:35.040 So these are the updates which I have already 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.660 approved in my WSUS, like Microsoft Defender Antivirus, 00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:40.870 Software Removal Tool. 00:01:40.870 --> 00:01:43.320 So these are very crucial and very important 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:45.850 updates which should be served on a day-to-day basis. 00:01:45.850 --> 00:01:47.350 And if I go to the Computers. 00:01:47.350 --> 00:01:49.350 So guys, in Computers, what I'm going to do here 00:01:49.350 --> 00:01:52.510 is since both the machines are 100% patched 00:01:52.510 --> 00:01:57.220 so we'll add one more machine into our this particular WSUS. 00:01:57.220 --> 00:02:00.580 We have already configured the policy in GPO. 00:02:00.580 --> 00:02:04.290 So if we join any machine in [INAUDIBLE] Active Directory, 00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:06.000 then that machine will automatically 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.900 report to our WSUS server. 00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.130 We don't have to do any manual configuration. 00:02:10.130 --> 00:02:13.210 So next what we will do, I have another machine which 00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:14.600 I have joined into the domain. 00:02:14.600 --> 00:02:16.780 But after joining domain, I haven't 00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.420 started that machine, which means the first reboot 00:02:19.420 --> 00:02:20.800 is not completed yet. 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.670 For that, let me turn on that machine. 00:02:22.670 --> 00:02:26.650 Here we go, the machine is powered on. 00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:28.780 Let me enter the credentials. 00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:32.240 OK, guys, now we'll log in with our domain administrator. 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.990 So Technical Spark is my domain, backslash, administrator. 00:02:37.990 --> 00:02:40.640 So this is the first time I'm logging into the domain. 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:42.400 So machine has started now. 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.260 Technicalspark.com is my domain. 00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:45.830 And the host name is Patching. 00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:50.360 Now let's go to the Windows, then Settings, Updates. 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.200 Great, friends, it looks like my this particular machine 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.390 has already detected and has downloaded 00:02:55.390 --> 00:03:00.440 one update from our WSUS server and it's asking us to install. 00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:02.150 It didn't get installed automatically. 00:03:02.150 --> 00:03:02.650 Why? 00:03:02.650 --> 00:03:06.250 Because in our GPO policy, we have configured these settings 00:03:06.250 --> 00:03:09.970 that download updates automatically and ask 00:03:09.970 --> 00:03:11.650 for install. 00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:14.850 So it's completely working as per our group policy. 00:03:14.850 --> 00:03:17.060 And as you can see in the top, some settings 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:19.640 are managed by your organization. 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:23.340 Click on Install Now and it will start installing. 00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.790 Meanwhile, let's check out in our WSUS 00:03:25.790 --> 00:03:29.090 server whether this machine is showing in our WSUS or not. 00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:32.000 For that, let me jump to the WSUS server. 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.790 OK, let's refresh the screen. 00:03:34.790 --> 00:03:36.420 Yeah, perfect guys. 00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:40.350 It just got updated here, Patching.technicalspark.com. 00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:42.930 And patch level is 96%. 00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:48.560 And there are almost 67 patches which are needed by this server. 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.730 Right now, only one software is getting installed. 00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:53.100 But yeah, there are almost 67 softwares 00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:54.270 which we need to approve. 00:03:54.270 --> 00:03:55.800 So how we can do that? 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.190 Let's go to the All Updates again. 00:03:58.190 --> 00:04:00.510 Or you can also go to the WSUS. 00:04:00.510 --> 00:04:03.650 And if you observe here, Update Status, it says, 00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:06.090 updates needed by computer. 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:06.775 Click on that. 00:04:06.775 --> 00:04:10.068 [AUDIO LOGO] 00:04:10.068 --> 00:04:15.560 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.470 So these are basically updates which need 00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:20.519 to be approved for our server. 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.190 So how we can do that? 00:04:22.190 --> 00:04:24.930 Just review all the updates which are available here. 00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:25.770 Scroll down. 00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:28.680 If you think that one of the updates is not required, 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.930 you can unselect that particular update like this. 00:04:32.930 --> 00:04:35.780 But right now, I'm going to select all the updates just 00:04:35.780 --> 00:04:40.140 for your demonstration and then right click, Approve. 00:04:40.140 --> 00:04:43.250 So where exactly my this particular machine is present? 00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:45.380 Then it's in unassigned group. 00:04:45.380 --> 00:04:49.820 So we have to select that and click on Approve or Install. 00:04:49.820 --> 00:04:50.520 OK. 00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:52.850 Now it's approving all the updates. 00:04:52.850 --> 00:04:54.830 Click on Close. 00:04:54.830 --> 00:04:56.790 My updates have been approved. 00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:58.670 Now if I go to the WSUS, then you 00:04:58.670 --> 00:05:01.640 can see there are almost 7 GB of updates which 00:05:01.640 --> 00:05:03.530 are getting downloaded now. 00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:05.150 Where exactly all the updates will 00:05:05.150 --> 00:05:07.280 download in your WSUS server? 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:10.130 So as I said earlier in this PC, I 00:05:10.130 --> 00:05:15.110 have created one directory that is D drive. 00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:19.800 In D drive under WSUS Directory, here your all the patch updates 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.600 will get stored. 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.510 Now let's go back to All Updates. 00:05:24.510 --> 00:05:26.430 Now, guys, let's go to our client machine 00:05:26.430 --> 00:05:30.480 to see whether updates got installed or not. 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.600 Perfect, the update is installed. 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.520 Click on Check for updates. 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.330 Right now it's not showing any updates. 00:05:37.330 --> 00:05:40.890 It's just because our WSUS server is yet to be updated. 00:05:40.890 --> 00:05:44.490 Now let me check out the Update History. 00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:47.370 Driver update is installed on 19/01. 00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:50.610 Other updates is installed today. 00:05:50.610 --> 00:05:54.810 So, guys, now let's go back to our WSUS server. 00:05:54.810 --> 00:05:59.220 All Computers, perfect, WSUS. 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:01.570 As of now, [INAUDIBLE] has been downloaded. 00:06:01.570 --> 00:06:04.870 So I'm not going to cover the other things here 00:06:04.870 --> 00:06:07.480 but I'll let you know what exactly will happen. 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.110 It will download all the 7 GB of data 00:06:10.110 --> 00:06:13.320 in our server, which means all the updates will be downloaded 00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:15.160 in our WSUS server. 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.660 And then it will start distributing this update 00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:21.600 to the PC to which these updates are 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.120 required, like my recently domain joined machine, 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.670 Patching server. 00:06:26.670 --> 00:06:29.110 So all these updates will be deployed 00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:31.250 on that particular machine. 00:06:31.250 --> 00:06:33.550 And once the machine is updated, then you 00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:36.500 will be able to see 100% status here, 00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:39.590 which is right now showing 96%. 00:06:39.590 --> 00:06:42.340 And the exclamation mark you are seeing here 00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:44.240 will be gone automatically. 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.410 So hopefully, friends, now you are very much or pretty much 00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:50.540 clear that how these things works. 00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:52.330 Friends, I hope you have learned something 00:06:52.330 --> 00:06:54.685 in this video about WSUS patching. 00:06:54.685 --> 00:06:56.560 Friends, if you have found this
