    I see from flowbass question that if you use Cache and Offline method that BP only security updates are processed. If I want to distribute and install other types of updates are you recommending using a WSUS?

    When using the BP Cache, what do you do with the Group Policy? Does BP override those update settings on each target?

    When using WSUS, do most folks set WSUS to auto approve all updates.

    Robert – ‘Cached mode’ *plus* ‘offline mode’ delivers just security updates. ‘Cached mode’ *without* ‘offline mode’ delivers all classifications of updates.

    ‘Offline mode’ is only recommended for segregated networks that have zero direct access to the internet and zero access to a single computer that has access to the internet. For your situation it sounds like you probably should not be using offline mode and should just use cached mode (or potentially not even use cached mode at all, depending on your requirements).
