Configuring WSUS with VMM
While it's possible to deploy the WSUS role on the computer that hosts VMM, Microsoft
recommends that WSUS be deployed on a separate computer. You should run the WSUS Con-
figuration Wizard to perform preliminary WSUS configuration, and perform a synchronization
prior to integrating with VMM. You can run the WSUS Configuration Wizard and perform a
synchronization using the default settings.
To integrate WSUS with VMM, perform the following steps:
1.
In the Fabric workspace of the VMM console, click the Update Server Node under
Infrastructure, as shown in Figure 5-35.
