To configure your systems to connect to your WSUS server it is strongly recommended to use Group
Policy. Configuring Group Policy is outside the scope of this document, however, I have prepared some
sample group policy settings that can be used as a base for building your policy on top of. Those policy
settings and necessary WMI filters can be found at http://www.tomontech.com/2013/10/configuringgroup-policy-for-windows-server-update-services-on-windows-server-2012-r2-essentials.
Congratulations! You have installed Windows Server Update Services on Windows Server 2012 R2
Essentials!
