Replica but pull from MU HM 5/28/2007 5:44:00 PM How is it possible to set up WSUS 3 so it is a replica server (for ease of administration), but to pull its updates directly from Microsoft, and have the clients pull the updates from the server? Reason: branch office internet connections are larger than the site-to-site VPN connections, but the number of clients at the sites precludes the use of Microsoft for the client updates.
