What does the Windows Update Offline data support?

Overview

Windows Update Offline data is a dataset provided by the MDES SDK and is represented through several files within the Analog package. For example:

  • In the server folder, Windows Update Offline data is included in the patch_system_aggregation file.
  • In the client folder, the Windows Update Offline data is represented by the wuo.dat file.

This dataset allows customers to flexibly query available Microsoft KBs in both the Internet and non-Internet environment, helping endpoints determine which Microsoft updates are required for patching.

Currently, Windows Update Offline data focuses on supporting Windows operating systems newer than Windows 7 and a set of modern, widely-used applications, as outlined in the following sections.
