Was ist denn das hier für ein bescheidenes Deutsch???
Könnt ihr den Artikel nicht auf Englisch verfassen, wenn ihr der deutschen Sprache nicht mächtig seid??

If you have any kind of Active Directory implementation (or some kind of domain) or have more than 5 machines, you should consider using WSUS (Windows Server Update Services). (you could also use a GPU).

WSUS is a free Microsoft product that stores updates locally and allows you to control their distribution. You also save quite a bit of bandwidth, as all updates will be done from your WSUS server instead of using microsoft.com’s servers.
