Dell and Rodney Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Is it possible to install WSUS 2.0 with SP1 on a SBS server (Small business server) that ALSO holds a domain? if yes what are the disadvatages and advantages? Or would it be better to install on a different server altogether?Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamins Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've Installed WSUS SP1 on a Win2003 Std. Edition Domain Controller, and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 The only limitation, per se, is that it'll detect you're running SBS and limit you to port 80 (no SSL). If you've got a small number of seats that will hit the SBS server, it should be fine there. However, with 70+ clients (the upper end of SBS), it can create some disk I/O and CPU load via the SQL server when clients are requesting updates, or the server is checking for updates from Microsoft.

nmX.Memnoch Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Or would it be better to install on a different server altogether?If you have another server that's generally the better option. Personally, I don't like installing IIS...check that...any web server on a DC unless I have no other option (i.e. only one server available...as is the case with most SBS domains).
