is there any authentication between wsus srv & wsus clients by default?
hi friend in win2008 r2, there authentication between wsus srv & wsus clients default? mean if deploy wsus srv in domain, default service clients (workgroup clients & domain joined clients ?) if so, how can deploy authentication it? mean wsus srv service domain joined client. what downstream wsus servers? domain joined upstream wsus srv default service downstream wsus srv? if how can deploy authentication here ? thank in advance in terms of server client communications, design anonymous , there's no mechanism far i'm aware configure client machines authenticate the wsus server. if want prevent unauthorised machines connecting wsus server updates need use other mechanisms that, instance firewall restrictions. i've seen comments on here suggesting add authentication in iis, break wsus functionality , doesn't work. in terms of server server communications, yes can secure that. see http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dd939849(ws.10).aspx full
