My Hierarchy is : 1. CAS server , WSUS remote console installed as WSUS is on remote server 2. WSUS Server For CAS , SUP role installed 3 . PRI01 Site Server on site A , WSUS remote console installed 4. WSUS Server For PRI01 , SUP role installed 5. PRI02 Site Server on Site B , WSUS remote console installed 6. WSUS Server For PRI01 , SUP role installed. Things i have done so far: 1. I am able to configure without any issues , ( Doubt : Do I Need to configure WSUS for all the three sites ? ) 2. I am able to sync without any issues across all sites ( CAS,PRi01,PRI01) ( Doubt : Does it syc / download all the actual update files or only the meta data, where does the data saved ? to the WSUS DB ? 3. Filtered the updates from all software update and Created a software group for windows 7 and windows 8.1 . ( Doubt : If i filter once , how about future updates ? will it automatically add to configured group from all software update ? ) 4. Deployed the software group to respective Device collection, i.e win7 and win 8.1 collection. (Doubt : So I downloaded the update on CAS and distributed to the respective distribution point on PRI01 and PRI02, Is it correct ? ) 5. The Deployed updates appeared in software center of the client, and after installing and restarting the client , the list in the software center disappeared , Is it normal behavior ? Thanks, Srini R

Getting Error : component SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANAGER on computer reported: Failures were reported on WSUS Server for WSUS components "WSUSService,". Solution: Verify that the failed WSUS components are installed and running.​ Message ID : 7001 Thanks, Srini R

Why is my Primary site refers to local hostname itself instead of remote wsus server ?

I am Trying to set up WSUS. And I am using Multi-site hierarchy. One CAS and two primary sites (PR1,PR2) reporting to it. And I would like to use remote WSUS server. 1. Should I set up three WSUS server for each site ( CAS , PR1 , PR2 ) ? 2. Should have its own susdb ? 3. Should I add software update point role on all the three sites ? 4. Should i do any thing on Active directory ? Thanks, Srini R
