Thought experiment
Deploying a Configuration Manager software update point at Fabrikam
You are the server administrator at Fabrikam. You are planning the deployment of
Configuration Manager, which you will initially use to manage software updates.
You have deployed WSUS 4.0 on a computer running Windows Server 2012 R2. This
computer will host only the WSUS role and no Configuration Manager site system
roles. With this information in mind, answer the following questions:
1.
What software element must you deploy on the site server if it is to host the
software update point role?
2.
Which other Configuration Manager roles must be present in the Configuration
Manager site to support the software update point?
■
The Configuration Manager software update point integrates with WSUS to allow soft-
ware updates to be deployed to Configuration Manager clients.
■
The Configuration Manager software update point integrates with WSUS 3.0 SP2 or
newer.
The software-updates synchronization process retrieves the metadata from an
upstream software update point or from Microsoft Update.
