    Hi abbodi1406, it's possible to make WSUS proxy to find security-only updates instead of Cumulative ones in Windows Update applet or other update tool ?

    No, that needs real WSUS

    did you check if offline scan with wsusscn2.cab contain security-only updates?

    HI,
    I am new here, and it is a great tool for me when I see it in google and then comes here.
    Now, does it support Windows Server 2012 R2? Windows 2012 R2 already enter the ESU stage and cannot get the ESU updates unless then purchase the ESU license.
    Also, if we use this tool on our servers, will the server can continue receiving updates from WSUS server as before? Or we need to manually download the updates(for example the Nov. update) and then manually install the updates on servers one by one?

    thanks very much and it is great tool for us without ESU license , we just need continue running some older 2012 R2 servers several months before upgrading the applications to new version.

    cool!
    I will give a test in next month's patch day when the first Windows Server 2012 R2 ESU update comes.

    Maybe the best method to apply the esu update on these 2012 R2 machines is running the bypass tool and then manually install the update with the downloaded update file from MS catalog.

    Run how?
    you cannot get 2023-11 updates without: WSUS Proxy + KB5017220 + SSU 2023-08 KB5029368 or later

    Can confirm that the november updates are not found. Got 2023-09 SSU (KB5030329) + KB5017220 installed and the WSUS proxy running. I'm on 8.1 Industry Pro though.

    Did you start clean (Add_wsus-and-Reset_DataStore.cmd)?
    check EditionID registry

    Doing that again fixed it indeed. Strange though, I had done that in the past and it stopped working this month. Didn't click on the online search either as far as I remember. But thanks!

    Hi, for using ESU bypass on an updated till 10-2023 windows server 2012 r2 do I need to install some packages before ESU bypass?
    (I don’t use Wsus, just windows update)
