Configure the WSUS Server

After installing WSUS, you are ready to configure the server. During installation, WSUS Setup created a security group called WSUS Administrators for delegating privileges for managing WSUS. Add WSUS administrators to this group so that WSUS administrators do not have to be members of the local Administrators group to manage WSUS.
