I think if you configure your servers to use your WSUS server as its source of windows updates, you can use the win\_updates module: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win\_updates\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_updates_module.html) I haven’t configured the windows update source myself but I believe this is possible via Group Policy (and is probably therefore also configurable by making changes to the registry). Hope this helps, Jon ---

Win\_updates modules , as i can see doesnot provides download only option . If the changes you said are at windows client or server level , cant do that as there are many targets servers . Any way via ansible … is it possible?
