You can manage Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) in a number of different ways. We also recommend that you monitor the general health of your WSUS network on a regular basis.

• You should check the WSUS administration console home page at least once a day to view overall update compliance and network health.

• Check application logs frequently, if you suspect problems such as download failures or client computers that are failing to report to the WSUS server.

• Install the Operations Manager Management Pack for WSUS to monitor overall service health.
