What is difference between Upstream and Downstream WSUS Server?

Or, What is Upstream Server in WSUS?

Or, What is Downstream Server in WSUS?

Or, What are the roles of Downstream or Upstream WSUS Servers?

Upstream WSUS Server: - This is the server which is also known as primary WSUS server, and it synchronizes the patches directly from Microsoft (internet).

Downstream WSUS Server: - This is the server which is also known as Secondary WSUS server, and it downloads the patches and settings from the upstream WSUS server. We can define rules and policies on primary or upstream WSUS server to get it inherited on secondary or downstream server. No changes are allowed on the downstream server as it is controlled from Upstream WSUS server centrally.

Or, Performing move request for O365 based mailbox

Or, Moving mailbox to another datastore or database in online exchange O365

Or, How to change datastore or database of O365 mailbox?

Description: There are real situations where you face unexpected issues with some of the mailboxes, and observe unusual behavior while sending or receiving emails, using features of our email client, functionalities challenges, slowness etc… If you have already tried many the troubleshooting steps, and nothing has helped, its time for you to try the MoveRequest now to see if that helps.

This method will move your affected user’s mailbox from exiting to new datastore or database, and that helps in fixing such unusual problems if the problem is from the online exchange server side of Microsoft O365.

In my case, it has been one of the best approaches to handle such an issue.

Step-1: Logn to MS O365 Azure Powershell

Launch Microsoft Azure Active Directory – Windows PowerShell > run the following commands in sequence to login to your O365 tenant > Feed in your O365 admin credentials wherever prompted

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)      $LiveCred=Get-Credential

2)      $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirectio

3)      Import-PSSession $Session
