That's not how it works. WSUS is not a fallback location for updates - either it is your primary source or no source - anything else is unsupported and won't work the way that you are describing. Same with using auto-approve rules or manually approving/declining any updates within WSUS itself: totally unsupported and not recommended.

Also we have drivers and SCEP updates which are auto approved in WSUS. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] WSUS content on Failover cluster Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:24:49 +0000 Actually, the real question is why do you care about the WSUSContent folder at all? When integrated into ConfigMgr, the only thing in this folder are EULAs and the infrastructure updates (like Windows Installer 3.1). Updates themselves are *not* stored in this folder so why go through any of this?

Setup: - 1. Two WSUS 6.2 server (Server 2012) which will be on NLB and will be pointing to the same SUSDB and content which will be on file Cluster.

Any know issues when clients are trying to download the content from the WSUS content on Failover cluster. Regards, /SAM
