Software Update Service StandAlone 1.004
Software Update Service StandAlone - SUSS (Software Update Services Standalone Tool) is a command-line utility to control and manage your
windows clients in your patch management architecture. SUSS gives administrators excellent control
on the update status of their windows clients in the enterprise. Administrators can use SUSS to
configure, troubleshoot, check, report and force your windows update clients from a central
location !
The new WU client that ships with Windows XP service pack 2 does not allow
you to connect to your local intranet SUS server for updates anymore, but instead uses the live
internet WUS server with its delta updates. SUSS 1.004 actually detects the version of Windows
Update client and if the version is newer than the old client, it forces the WU client into a
legacy mode and thus allows the client to still connect to a company
s existing
SUS server.
SUSS 1.004 - released in December 2004, contain the new -DU switch, which
allows SUS administrators to undo any declined updates on remote machines. All switches of SUSS
1.004 now accepts an input hosts file and an optional output report file.
