Seperate servers for SCCM and SUP?

[NobleSavage]

I am getting ready to install SCCM 2012 for our production environment. I played around with SCCM 2007 in a lab environment but never messed with deploying Windows Updates through it. Going forward we will be using SCCM to do our patching and I was curious what best practices were with SCCM and SUP. Should I install these roles on the same piece of hardware or is it better to seperate them off. I imagine I will have around 10,000 clients reporting back and getting patched when all is said and done.

in CM12, a single primary site server can manage up to 100 000 clients. you can keep SUP on the same server without any issues. Most patching done in a production environment is out of hours anyway so it's not going to affect day to day normal service
