Scheduling Updates with WSUS...

Hello,
We don't patch our production servers everyweek and are looking for a way to
schedule updates with WSUS to patch on specific days. Does anybody know if
there is a way to do this?

Who does?? WSUS updates are issued once a month, except for an
occasional emergency and revised/expired set of updates.

You should set up the servers to download any new updates on a daily
basis but not install. Then, when you are ready, log onto the server and
install the desired updates.
