SUS in a closed lab environment

NPA24

Hi everybody.

I have a lab setup at work where I have no internet access.

I'm trying to setup SUS. I've installed everything but I'm trying to figure out how to download the updates to my lab server. I could manually download the files from a pc that has internet access but where do I go from there.

Any help guys!

Where is the location that these downloads are stored? I am not going to connect my main sus server to the internet is the problem. Can I just download these critical updates myself from a computer that has internet connection and then copy these updates to a specific folder in the sus server. I'm just confused if what I'm doing is even possible.

Im not sure if this is possible, looking at the files on my SUS server they are not named the same as you would if you downloaded them seperatly i.e. KB123456.exe, all the files are ABCDEFGH12ABCD34GH.exe and then they are conntained in folders, 00, 01, 02, 03.

If you could I would try and point it at another SUS server and pull the updates over a network.

Thanks guys for your help. I guess I'll have to try this out at home in my own private lab instead of a closed environment at work.

Thanks again!!
