Course Description

Software updates are of utmost importance in the world of Windows Server. Windows Server Update Services will help you keep your software up-to-date consistently!

This course will teach you how to set up your lab, install WSUS, administrate WSUS Server and clients, and troubleshoot the server and the client. You’ll learn how to install and administrate a Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) server without getting bored with the useless theory and fluff that’s found in most certification study guides, college classes and other online courses.

Too many people are studying books and learning endless IT theory but are still unable to find a job or get that promotion because they lack hands-on experience. This course will give you the practical, on-the-job experience you need to add these skills to your resume and achieve your career goals.

By the end of this course you will be able to create a WSUS lab (including a Windows Domain), install and configure WSUS, configure WSUS clients, approve and manage domain updates, administrate WSUS in disconnected / secure environments, troubleshoot WSUS and MUCH more!
