Most wanted feature for Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 4.0 [closed]

Some blogs rumor that the next Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) would allow to host user-defined and even non-Microsoft packages.

What is your wish list for WSUS 4.0?

Solution 1:

Non-Microsoft packages would be fantastic if enough people supported it.

All the other standard desktop applications that self update at different times (particularly Adobe Acrobat) are becoming an increasing blight on the desktop environment, causing much user confusion and system instability.

If the vendors could get together and agree a single update strategy via one centrally managed delivery mechanism (whether it be WSUS or an other), we as sysadmins would have a lot more control over the deployment of updates and patches, and far better knowledge of what was happening to our systems.

I live in hope.... :-)

Solution 2:

Officially-supported command-line update install functionality. Think "wuauclt /installnow".

Solution 3:

Just some simple tweaks to the UI would be really helpful. It's really a pain to approve a large batch of updates. The UI is slow to respond and it doesn't reflect the things you have updated already.
