Windows Update

Different categories of updates

• Important updates
• This is where security updates are
• Optional updates

​

Important Considerations

• Will take a long time for fresh install of OS
• This is why service packs are so important and why you want to apply service packs first

​

​

Practice Scenario

• Your are the budding IT officer at your local 999th Composite Squadron. Commander Bob has donated his PC to the squadron and your job is to secure it.

​

• Make sure it has latest service pack and updates. Make sure windows update is configured. Make sure firewall is turned on. Make sure remote desktop is disabled w/in the firewall.

​

• Squadron policy does not allow personal media files (music, pictures, video) so make sure any personal media files have been removed.

​

• Squadron policy requires use of Internet Explorer version 10. All other browsers must be removed. Internet Explorer must be set as default browser
