The custom schedule allows you to synchronize software updates on a date and time when the demands of the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server, site server, and network are low. When you configure a schedule for software updates synchronization, the top-level software update point starts synchronization with Microsoft Update at the scheduled date and time. Schedule software updates synchronization For more information, see Synchronize software updates from a disconnected software update point. When a software update point is disconnected from its upstream synchronization source, you can use the export and import method to synchronize software updates. Software update points must be connected to their upstream synchronization source to synchronize software updates. However, you can manually initiate software update synchronization when it's necessary. Once you configure the synchronization schedule, you'll typically not change the schedule as part of normal operations. You configure software update synchronization to run on a schedule in the properties for the software update point at the top-level site. For more information about software update synchronization process, see Software updates synchronization. When a site receives the synchronization request from the parent site, the software update point for the site retrieves software updates metadata from its upstream synchronization source. Then, the top-level site will send a synchronization request to other sites. Typically, the software update point on the central administration site, or on a stand-alone primary site, retrieves the metadata from Microsoft Update. This includes specific products, classifications, and languages.

Software update synchronization in Configuration Manager is the process of retrieving the software update metadata that meets the criteria that you configure. Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)
