Number of WSUS servers

[Kevin79]

I currently use WSUS to deploy updates in my domain. I have a WSUS server in each location (currently 12, plus my main site) to reduce bandwidth over the WAN. I also have a SCCM server in those locations. If I decide to move to SCCM for updates, do I still need to have a WSUS server in each site? Can I set up SCCM/SUP to download updates from Microsoft and store them on the SCCM servers?

Depends on the bandwidth...

By using SCCM already on those location they can pull the updates from their local DP, so you don't have that traffic anymore. The only traffic you still have is of the wua client scanning for updates. So if that's to much traffic you should add a SUP on those locations, otherwise just go for it with a central SUP
