WSUS Importing a Single Patch without Internet

Question

I have a WSUS server without Internet connection. Is there a way to import monthly patches into WSUS without using WSUS export, Import utility?

Anyway to mimic the online catalog for patches and import the individual patches directly into WSUS server?

Hi avilavinash-2191,

Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

In my opinion, WSUS is not yet ready to implement the features you mentioned above. In the disconnected environment, we could only use the wsusutil.exe tool to import and export the updates.

If we access to the Microsoft Update Catalog website manually, any updates that we download are not imported into the WSUS server, but instead are downloaded as individual *.MSU files. WSUS does not currently have a supported mechanism for importing files in the *.MSU format.

Thanks for your time.
