WSUS

Essendon

Without violating the NDA, could someone please advise what type of questions on WSUS could be asked. Although I know that everyone's test is different, to what degree is this topic questioned on the test? Thank you!

Just make sure you know what is generally involved in how to install it, what's involved in getting updates, and how to deploy settings via gpo. It wasn't anything too difficult for my test at least, but then again I've had a lot of WSUS experience so I'm fairly comfortable in the area.

Thank you for the quick reply, undomiel. I am the patching administrator for my company, deal with WSUS every other day. Updates are synced to our server and I then deploy them to the workstations after extensive testing by various departments. Atleast I have a fairly good understanding on patch deployment, which should make this topic relatively easy.

undomiel

You should be all set on that topic then and have no problems! Good luck on the test.

Essendon

Thanks. Test's 14 days away but as usual I am jittery no matter how much prep's gone into this and how much experience I have with W2K3 !!

I didn't have any experience with WSUS and I took and passed the 70-290 a few weeks ago and passed, I remember there only being a few basic questions on WSUS. So I wouldn't worry at all if I were you, since you have some experience with it.

Good Luck!

I would be sure you know WSUS for the real world as it is very ubiquitous in the IT field now. So make sure you think you can support 3-5 WSUS servers.

Yeah, last week I actually installed WSUS on my home server and am playing around with it at home. When I feel comfortable I'm going to deploy it at my company.

I totally agree though, thanks!

As with pretty much any other GUI tool, familiarize yourself with the command-line equivalents or related tools as well.

Thank you for all the advice. Am going to go through the WSUS chapter today. BTW, I am getting 80% on the transcender tests, with another 12 days, do you guys think I could get this upto 90-95%? That should certainly boost confidence, if not anything else.
