Introduction – Patch Missing from SCCM How to Import into WSUS Manually
In general, Microsoft will release the update with WSUS metadata catalog information most of the time. Sometimes, MS will release individual updates not part of the WSUS catalog.
We need to import the updates into the WSUS console using Windows Catalog Agent in this scenario.
NOTE! When you see the following in a KB article, you probably won’t see all these in SCCM WSUS or SUP-configured system.
| Release Channel | Available | Next Step |
| Windows Update or Microsoft Update | No | See the other options below. |
| Microsoft Update Catalog | Yes | To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. |
| Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) | No | You can import this update into WSUS manually. See the Microsoft Update Catalog for instructions. |
NOTE! – Microsoft will be publishing these patches to WSUS soon. Probably by the end of the day today!
Prerequisites
- WSUS Server to have internet access to import the metadata from Microsoft to WSUS Console
- The Internet Explorer needs to add on ‘Microsoft Update Catalog’ to find the updates from the MS site, or it will be prompted when trying to open the Microsoft update catalog website URL – http://catalog.update.microsoft.com.
- Internet Explorer is one of the prerequisites for this. Otherwise, check out the note below.
NOTE! – If you have already disabled IE, you need to use some of the tricks that are explained by K_Wester-Ebbinghaus in his Tech Community post.
Links to add to Microsoft Edge IE Mode
If you already using IE Mode for MS Edge, then ensure you added the following URLs to IE mode sites.

- Enable Internet Explorer IE Mode in Microsoft Edge
- Configure Enterprise Mode Site List to use IE Mode

Thank you Kannan. When we try to install .msu file with the help of WUSA.exe, the command is not executing via SCCM. But manually it works. Any idea of the issue?
Awesome thanks.
WSUSSYnc.log should be wsyncmgr.log (screenshoot is correct)
Thanks for sharing!!
Hi kannan sir,my name is Krishna it was nice talk with u
Nice artical
Great article. I used it in combination with ‘https://4sysops.com/archives/import-updates-manually-into-wsus-with-ie-or-powershell/’. I need it for importing KB5001567. Thx
HI Kannan,
In our environment, we are not enabled for Windows Defender in products, but as part of vulnerability remediation, we imported an update through MS catalog, it was showing in WSUS portal, but not synced to SMS DB, any idea?
Hello – I never tried this. I was trying to understand how the scan against the cab file works in this scenario if you have not enabled the category/product.
Worked a treat, Many Thanks needed the reboot
