Changing WSUS Server

Existing server

1. Disable the service in WSUS integration in Service status section.

2. We recommend using the existing self-signed certificate. It is already shared to managed workstations in most of the cases. Export the certificate. This can be done in WSUS integration tab in Server certificate section. Choose Export and save the certificate for the new server.

3. We recommend also export the existing AM for WSUS settings. These settings are located in C:\ProgramData\Centero\WSUS.xml. Copy the XML-file for the new server.


New server 

Before migration of Application Manager for WSUS, make sure that WSUS component is completely migrated to the new server. Also check that all the requirements are met.

4. Copy the WSUS.xml from the old installation to the new installation to the similar location.
