Can WSUS configure when clients may download patches?


we have issue if our clients download updates during office hours, choke off limited bandwidth have.  i'm wondering if there's way wsus give clients schedule of when it's okay download updates?  we'd them download updates in evening or @ night.  

the other option may preventing them downloading while @ ips or subnets.  but seems more complicated.

hi ron bass,

based on understanding, want prevent clients from downloading updates in working hours. windows update , microsoft update use background intelligent transfer service (bits) download updates. can configure bits in gpo control update downloading behavior.

however, bits not windows update, other service may use bits too. need ensure if modify bits settings, not affect other services may running on working hours.

for detailed information how configure bits, may read following article:
