SCCM and WSUS

[Kevin79]

I currently have WSUS at my work. I have my main WSUS server and 11 downstream replica servers at remote sites. I am now testing SCCM to see if it will work better than our current system for deploying software and imaging computers. I would also like to integrate WSUS with it. Here's my question... Would I still need all of my WSUS servers or could I get rid of all but one?

It all depends on why you have all those WSUS servers on the remote sites...

 

The SCCM Clients can all look at the same WSUS server (with Software Update Point) as long as its within the same SCCM Site. The SCCM Clients can download the Updates from the Distribution Points (eventually at the remote sites).

I have all of the WSUS servers because each site is connected to the main site by various speed connections (most are T1 speeds) and it is a lot quicker and less painful to have computers at each site download updates from a local server.

Then you should be fine with a Software Update on the central location and DPs on the remote locations.
