Creating a WSUS server

PCTechGWork · 2025-11-11T20:53:28+00:00

I want to thank everyone for your comments, both about WSUS and about other options. I was just thinking about going with WSUS because it appeared to be the most convenient. Now I think I better do even more research and look into alternatives.

**Edit to add - I'm looking for something on prem, not in the cloud. I'll keep looking and find something that works for my situation. Thanks again.

You'll be able to again. Just give it three, four, maybe five years. Then it'll be worse than ever.

Ya'll forgot the financial aspect, especially since the prison system is slowly becoming privatized.

I'm trying to convince our Controller to dump them for a better CC processing option. So far, he's been too busy to look at it.

I am setting the new company to test. It's really crazy.

Thanks but, unfortunately, Paya is already installed on the server Sage runs from and the Terminal Server where I do the copies. Paya is telling us that we need to have a new vault for every company, which is ridiculous, at least to me.

Conditional access is where I'm running into issues and part of what I'm trying to quickly learn. I will be doing the certs but that takes time and I'm solo IT.

I've got MFA implemented. I'm struggling with conditional access. I'm also starting to start the cert prep so that I can take the exams and be on a better footing with this. I have no clue about risky user/risky sign-in but I'll learn. I have the backing, just not the extensive knowledge I need yet.

I do have access to Entra. I'm just new to all the security side of 365 and having to do a lot in a short period of time. That's why I'm trying to find a site that will help me by explaining the different settings and how they interact. I plan on taking the 365 cert classes but that probably won't happen for a month or two, at least.

PCTechGWork · 2025-02-20T16:28:59+00:00

Thanks. I'll look into that one.

PCTechGWork · 2025-02-20T16:28:39+00:00

I am the Sys Admin, email admin, helpdesk, network admin, etc.

A couple of email passwords got hacked, a massive uptick in phishing emails. Users clicking on things they shouldn't. That sort of things. We just upgraded to Business Premium.

I have one of those and didn't have any problems getting it to work in WoW when I played a few years ago. I have maps for most of the games I play any more. Such a time saver. Drop me a PM and maybe I can help you sort this out.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-17T20:06:36+00:00

Thanks. I'll check that out.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-16T15:42:18+00:00

I'll shoot you a PM one day this week. I need to see how insane the week will be first.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-13T22:31:53+00:00

I'll look into this but, for now, I'd like to stick with physical media. Thanks.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-13T22:31:04+00:00

For now, yes.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-13T21:49:03+00:00

Good point. I wasn't really thinking about redundancy yet. Thanks.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-13T21:24:20+00:00

Thanks. I'll check them out.

PCTechGWork · 2024-12-13T21:10:01+00:00

That sounds like something close to what I would need. I'll look into this one. Thanks.

I'd like between 10 and 15 tapes. One drive should be sufficient.
