N-central 7.2 Providing Patch Management With N-central - 6 -
N-central 7.2 Providing Patch Management With N-central Adding a WSUS Server to N-central Adding a WSUS server to N-central is simple - you simply install a Windows Agent on it. The Windows Agent will discover the installed WSUS software and will then add the server to the list displayed on the WSUS Server Management screen (accessible through Setup > Patch Management > WSUS Servers in the N-central UI). WSUS servers that have been discovered but are not yet enabled for patch management will be indicated by an icon. Servers that have been enabled will be indicated by a icon. If you install WSUS on the server after the agent has been installed, the WSUS server will still be discovered as the agent repeats its discovery action every 24 hours. Additionally, you can trigger an immediate discovery by clicking Update Now on the Asset tab of the device in question. The following are the time intervals for interaction between Windows Agents and WSUS: Activity Patch Discovery (Patches Needed) WSUS Group Creation Interval Upon agent start and every 22 hours If successful: every 6 hours If unsuccessful: every 5 minutes Reapply WSUS Group Hierarchy WSUS Server Configuration Every 6 hours If successful: every 24 hours If unsuccessful: every 5 minutes Verify Patch Status Patch Approval Synchronization Every 12 hours For Security Updates and Critical Updates: every 24 hours For all other categories: every 168 hours (7 days) What Versions of WSUS Are Supported? N-central 7.2 supports, at minimum, Microsoft WSUS 3.0 Service Pack 2. Older versions of WSUS will be discovered but cannot be used for patch management in N-central. As new versions of WSUS become available, N-able Technologies will test the integration with N-central and make any updates necessary to provide support for the new version. We do not recommend upgrading WSUS until official support is provided for the new version in order to ensure that your patch system is operating properly. - 7 -
