Distribution Points - Requirements

Recommended Posts

We have 6 different sites where we have configured a Distribution Point at each location.

 

At each site we have the clients point to the local Distribution Point server to get their Windows Updates. This is done through Group Policy.

 

Does that server also need to have WSUS installed if the clients are going to point to that computer?

No, WSUS only needs to be installed on the Primary site. When you build your monthly security package, you then distribute that package (which has all of the Windows updates) to your SCCM distribution points. Assuming that your SCCM boundaries are configured correctly, your clients will use their local distribution point to retrieve their Windows Updates.

 

By the way, you shouldn't need to use Group Policy to do this through SCCM. You actually run the risk of Group Policy and SCCM "stepping" on each other.
