WSUS Synchronization Schedule – Once per month

wsus

WSUS has no option for syncing once per month. It requires a daily synchronization. Is it possible to change this to once per month through GPO or other means? Is the only other option to manually sync?

You cannot achieve this directly from the native GUI of WSUS. It is not available as an option. Instead, you can extend the capabilities of WSUS with a third-party application like SolarWinds Patch Manager.

Is the only other option to manually sync?

Preferably, if you've to, a better hack would be to set to manually perform the synchronisation in WSUS. And, then create a Windows task scheduler which would perform synchronisation with the help of available WSUS API.
