Wanted course to discuss / focus more about WSUS and not installing Virtual Box or Windows Server 2016. Had to wait half way through course to get to true meaning.

I like the idea of having an optional lab, however I also haven't found a way to skip ahead to what the course is actually covering.

We can also do this by VMWare Work station with a lot of additional features. What should be ethernet port in WSUS server with dual gateway settings? Does it required at least 2 ethernet port, one is internet facing for download updates and second for distribute updates in domain environment.

I have heard of WSUS as part of discussions with making sure that computers were up to date with software updates. This is my first hands on experience setting up a WSUS server. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to gain experience to get a better paying job.

Instructor Paul is easy to listen to. His material is relevant and covers most of the scenarios you would/could run into using a WSUS server. I will be looking for other courses taught by him for sure.

The introduction to the WSUS server is great. The topic was explained very well and it was fun. I still missed something about troubleshooting error updates and a lesson on how to control WSUS with PowerShell.

I've been through these steps before, so far I'm not seeing anything that makes it worth purchasing this course.
