Software Update Service StandAlone
-
Version
1.004
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.
