Continuing WSUS support for driver synchronization
Does your organization still rely on Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for driver synchronization? While it’s part of a deprecated WSUS service, you still can. Based on your valuable feedback, we are postponing the plan to remove WSUS driver synchronization, which was slated for April 18, 2025. Stay tuned as we work on a revised timeline to streamline our services for you. Note: We have removed the previously posted 90- and 60-day reminders about this topic since they are no longer accurate.
When will this happen:
- Effective immediately, we are postponing the plan to remove WSUS driver synchronization.
- The originally announced date for its removal was April 18, 2025 (no longer applicable).
How this will affect your organization:
Your organization can continue using WSUS for driver synchronization for an extended period. Please note that it’s part of a deprecated WSUS service, which is no longer in active development and will be retired or removed from a future release.
What you need to do to prepare:
Stay tuned as we work on a revised timeline to streamline our services for you. Additionally, start exploring ways to use alternative in-support technology for better security and productivity.
