IUpdateServerConfiguration.IsReplicaServer

Retrieves a value that indicates if the WSUS server is a replica server.

public bool IsReplicaServer {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property IsReplicaServer As bool

Property Value

True if the WSUS server is a replica server; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You specify if the server replicates an upstream server when you install WSUS; you cannot modify this setting.

A downstream server can be an autonomous server or a replica server. An autonomous server synchronizes the same updates as the upstream server; however, it can create its own target groups and manage its own approvals, and can download content from Microsoft Update or from the upstream server.

A replica server replicates the upstream server. The only difference between an upstream server and the replica server is their clients. The replica server synchronize the same updates as the upstream server, and has the same target groups, approvals, accepted license agreements (EULAs), and declined status as the upstream server.

Note that you must be on the replica server to view the status of clients of the replica server.

Automatic approval rules are disabled on the replica server.
