Navigating the WSUS Console
In previous versions of WSUS (SUS included), servers were managed via the administrative
console, which was Web-based. Although effective, moving to the MMC interface has
provided administrators with a more friendly and powerful console. The new console
uses MMC 3.0. To open the new console from the WSUS server, click Start |
Administrative Tools | Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 and
you should see the Update Services console come up, similar to the one seen in
Figure 3.26. The Update Services tool consists of three primary panes: Console Tree,
Details Pane, and an Action Pane. When an administrator selects a different area of the
Console Tree, the Details Pane and Action Pane change to show the pertinent information
and available actions of the selection.
