WSUS Group Management

WSUS group Management allows full synchronization of JetPatch groups with WSUS groups and management of WSUS server and Replicas groups from JetPatch UI.

Synchronizing Groups with WSUS Discovery Source

• When WSUS server is defined in JetPatch as Discover Source for Windows End points all groups that are defined in WSUS server and Replicas are automatically synchronized with JetPatch, while every WSUS group is a new Smart Group in JP based on a tag similar to WSUS group name.
• After synchronization process is completed any new Smart Group created or updated on JetPatch will be automatically created\updated on WSUS Server and\or Replicas.
• When CRUD action on any Smart Group is completed the group status on the table on System>Smart Groups will be updated according to the below statuses
  • Ready - The group is successfully created and synchronized with WSUS Server and relevant Replica. Ready for patching.
  • Creating Group - Updating the the created group on WSUS Server. Group with this status can't yet be used for patching.
  • Creation Failed 
  • Synchronizing Group - Updating the changes of the group on WSUS server and replicas 
  • Synchronize Failed
  • Deleting Group
  • Deletion Failed
    In case of one of the operations has failed the detailed information regarding failure reason can be found in Logs&Alerts!

Upgrade to version 4.2.2

When the system is upgraded to version 4.2.2 from any older version the assumption is that all groups on WSUS and Jetpatch are aligned and the migration logic is performed the same way as for any Computer Group to Smart Group migration as described in Managing Smart Groups Article.
