When you approve a patch to be installed, you are approving it for clients to install. The downloading to the WSUS server is automatic - any client that's approved and not yet on the server, is downloaded to the server almost immediately upon approval. Then WSUS clients download from the WSUS

You're correct that it's several layers up with the failover. SMTP servers know how to do this - web browsers don't. You'd get about a 50% fail ratio if one of your two web servers was down in the listed config. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132
