WSUS Offline Update

Hello all,

Is it possible to manually update a WSUS server in a non-internet connected
scenario (using USB disks or CDs)? It appears the only options available are
to connect to the Microsoft update servers or to another WSUS upstream
server.

Thank you for any information you have!

Brian

Yes, you'll find it documented in the WSUS Deployment Guide in the section
discussing, curiously enough -- Disconnected Networks.
