SUP WSUS CAS PRI design

[risjard]

I'm having some issues configuring SUP on the primary site SCCM 2012 wtih CAS server.

I getting eventiD's 7000, 6600, 6703, etc. I will start all over again.

What is the best practice for software updates?

 

CAS:

 

Full WSUS 3.0 SP2 with

- local database

- Active software update point on site server

- port 8530/8531

- allow intranet only.....

SUP role with "use this server as active server point" 8530

 

PRI:

WSUS administrator console (or full WSUS with database?)

SUP role with "use this server as active server point" 8530?

 

thx

just read the guides for installing the CAS and Primary and you'll be all set, it's all covered in there

thx. I've read a lot information and I think I need the full WSUS installation on the CAS and primary sites and make the SUP's active software points. So I think when I have 5 primary sites there will be 5 wsus databases. I cannot imagine that's correct. Also I do not understand when I need to install the WSUS admin console only. I cannot think for a scenario like this. There are always clients in a primary sites and when this site needs be a active SUP a full WSUS is required.

 

Please help to clarify this.

Correct. In a situation with a CAS and 5 Primaries you will need an active SUP on all these Sites and that means a WSUS DB on all these Sites. See also: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712696.aspx#BKMK_ActiveSUP
