import .net framwork 3.5 to wsus

Question

In my domain network, all clients receive updates from the wsus .
Some clients need (.net framework 3.5 (includes .net 2.0 and 3.0)) to run a specific program
When I want to install this update through : Control Panel> program and Features>, it does not install. Because that client connects to wsus.
Now how can I import (.net framework 3.5 (includes .net 2.0 and 3.0)) in wsus so that clients can install this framework?

Hi MohsenEbi-8665,

Please refer to the below link to install the .net framework 3.5 on the clients:

I tested it in my lab environment and please refer to the below picture:

Command for your reference:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:E:\sources\sxs

In addition, I tested it in a windows 10 client which is pointed to the WSUS Server. But the result shown that the Windows 10 client could install the .net framework 3.5 successfully. Here is a screenshot for your reference:

Please share with me the error information when you try to install the .net framework 3.5 in the Windows Features. I will do more research further.

Please feel free to let me know if there are any feedback. Thanks for your time and have a great weekend.

Answer

You can't, but you can use the GPO method and the script below to do it.

https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/rsat-tools-on-1809-and-higher-other-features-on-demand-aka-optional-features/

Follow the GPO Method in the link above.

Then:

With Internet:

if ($(Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "NetFX3~~~~").State -eq "Installed") {
    Write-Output ".NET v3.5 is already installed."
} else {
    Try {
        Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "NetFX3~~~~"
        Write-Output ".NET v3.5 is now installed."
    }
    Catch {
        Write-Output "Error in installing .NET v3.5."
        Write-Output "Verify that the following GPO is setup."
        Write-Output "Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair : Enabled"
        Write-Output "Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) : Enabled"
        Write-Output $_.Exception
        Write-Error -Exception $_.Exception
    }
}

Without internet:

if ($(Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "NetFX3~~~~").State -eq "Installed") {
    Write-Output ".NET v3.5 is already installed."
} else {
    Try {
        Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName NetFx3 -Source '\server\share\sources\sxs'
        Write-Output ".NET v3.5 is now installed."
    }
    Catch {
        Write-Output "Error in installing .NET v3.5."
        Write-Output $_.Exception
        Write-Error -Exception $_.Exception
    }
}
