Procedure for Disabling WSUS 3.x and Enabling Microsoft Update for SBS2011 Server and its Clients
Have a deployment with SBS 2011 Standard, another Win2k8R2 server, and only Windows 10 clients. I have the process for disabling WSUS below. Same goes for enabling Microsoft Update as the primary source for all computers on the domain.
Question: How to get Microsoft Update to correctly update everything (Server, Exchange, SharePoint, SQL, etc) on the SBS 2011 server?
