Can we use Windows Update client policies with our internal wsus server? Or will this be deactivated at a later date?
Is there more information about this setup than https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/wufb-wsus?
We have clients without internet access, they need to update with our internal wsus server.
And if we stopped using WSUS and got everything online through Windows Updates, how would bandwidth be managed? We have over 2000 clients...

The WSUS deployment documentation is here Deploy Windows Server Update Services | Microsoft Learn, I believe you want to look at Step 4 on configuring your policy settings for your clients.
If you stopped using WSUS and went to the cloud directly, you can manage bandwidth using Delivery Optimization (likely coupled with a Microsoft Connected Cache server). Check out Configure Delivery Optimization for Windows | Microsoft Learn and Microsoft Connected Cache overview | Microsoft Learn
There is an AMA scheduled for next week on Delivery Optimization and MCC - here is the link to it: AMA: Microsoft Connected Cache and Delivery Optimization - July 28, 2025 - Microsoft Event
