This log stores the record of every update installation, synchronization, and WSUS configuration change.

40
Q

What does WSUS place in the softwareDistribution.txt log?

A

This is a detailed log file usually used by Microsoft Support to debug a problem.

41
Q

Restarting the WSUS server on the CLI

A

Net stop wuauserv

Net start wuauserv

42
Q

SCCM

A

System Center Configuration Manager
