Configuring GenianSyncer Software
=================================

GenianSyncer Software is designed to get Microsoft Updates and Patches from
Microsoft website and sync with a Policy Server that cannot access the
internet. GenianSyncer Software gets installed on a Windows machine to be able
to download Microsoft Updates and Patches from the Microsoft website and be
used as an internal repository. You can then set up the Policy Server to
periodically sync with the Windows Machine to proxy to endpoint devices using
the “Update Windows” Agent Action.
