How to apply this update

We recommend that you synchronize all WSUS servers after you apply this update. If you have a hierarchy of WSUS servers, apply this update, and then synchronize your servers from the top of the hierarchy. To synchronize your servers in this manner, follow these steps. 

Note Before WSUS 3.0 SP2 servers (without fix 2828185 or newer) can manage computers that are running Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or a newer OS version, you must complete these steps:

1.       Apply update 2938066 to the WSUS server that synchronizes with Microsoft Update.

2.       Start synchronization.

3.       Wait for the synchronization to succeed.

Repeat these steps for each WSUS server that synchronizes to the server that you just updated.
