When storing files locally, WSUS only downloads the metadata until the update is approved for installation. If you want WSUS to store its updates locally, select the radio button next to Store update files locally on this server in the Advanced Synchronization Options windows shown in Figure 6.8. If you are supporting several languages or if you are using express installation files, you can easily have more than 6GB of updates. Microsoft recommends having at least 30GB free. The preferred storage location for update files is locally on the WSUS server, which requires at least 6 gigabytes (GB) of free disk space to hold all of the updates.

If you want your clients to install from Microsoft's servers, select the radio button next to Do not store updates locally clients install from Microsoft Update in the Advanced Synchronization Options window shown in Figure 6.8. Instead of just downloading updates once from the Internet to the WSUS server, updates will be downloaded every time they are deployed. This is not the preferred method for storing updates, as you will have a lot of unneeded Internet traffic. This requires each machine to have access to the Internet. When you set these updates to install on client machines, each machine will go directly to Microsoft Windows Update Servers and download the update. If you choose to leave the update files on Microsoft's servers, your WSUS server will only download the metadata for updates. The metadata is stored in the WSUS database and the update files are either stored locally on the WSUS server or they are left on Microsoft's servers. WSUS stores each of these parts in separate locations.
This gives you all of the information you need about an update such as its purpose, its End User Licensing Agreement (EULA), and which platforms are supported by the update, without having to download the update first. Since WSUS only has to synchronize the information about the updates and not the updates themselves, it can finish initial synchronizations much quicker. Keeping the metadata separate from the actual update files reduces synchronization time with Microsoft's servers. All updates consist of two parts-updatefiles and metadata.The update files are the actual files used to update a client computer and the metadata is the information about the update.
