WSUS
What is express installation?
Anwser: It only downloads the differences between the new version and the old version to install the update.
Explination:
The express installation files feature is an update distribution mechanism. You can use express installation files to limit the bandwidth consumed on your local network, but at the cost of bandwidth consumption on your Internet connection. By default, WSUS does not use express installation files. To better understand the tradeoff, you first have to understand how WSUS updates client computers.
Updates typically consist of new versions of files that already exist on the computer being updated. On a binary level these existing files might not differ very much from updated versions. The express installation files feature is a way of identifying the exact bytes that change between different versions of files, creating and distributing updates that include just these differences, and then merging the original file with the update on the client computer. Sometimes this is called delta delivery because it downloads only the difference, or delta, between two versions of a file.

WSUS
What is deferred installation?
Answer: Only downloads Metadata for updates, once approved it downloads the update
In depth description:
You can approve updates, and download the update metadata before you download the update files, this method is called deferred downloads. When you defer downloads, an update is downloaded only after it is approved. We recommend that you defer downloads because it optimizes network bandwidth and disk space.

What are the two types of WSUS Configurations for multiple WSUS servers (when you want them to be connected)?
- Replica Mode
- Autonomous Mode
What does Autonomous Mode set up for WSUS?
Autonomous Mode - Each WSUS server is able to select its own options and configurations
update languages, creates computer groups, assigns computers to groups, tests and approves updates, and makes sure that the correct updates are installed to the appropriate computer groups
What does replica mode set up for WSUS?
Answer: Recieve all updates and settings from an Upstream sever
The Replica mode, also called centralized administration, works by having an upstream WSUS server that shares updates, approval status, and computer groups with downstream servers. Replica servers inherit update approvals and are not administered separately from the upstream WSUS server.
