A Windows administrator needs to configure automatic updates of the Operating System in 10 PowerEdge servers. Which tool should they use to achieve this?
The Dell OME will be prefered for hardware updates, FIrmware, Drivers etc - the Windows updates will be best handled by WSUS as iDRAC will not know about new OS patches for security or other functions like MSFT will. iDrac will be able to download a new OS image - but not take care of regular OS patching.

Windows Update
From an enterprise perspective, updating Windows for vulnerabilities on each client system can be daunting.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables server administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates. WSUS can be utilized to fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers on your network:
• Centralized management allows postponing, pause, and deployment from WSUS server to client.
• Reduces external network bandwidth, this includes the ability to update, and secure client production systems that is not connected to the internet but to the network domain.
Distributed updates allow ease of rollbacks. Certain updates may negatively impact business operations and this action can be undone easily on an enterprise-wide organization.
