Adding the SUP Role to a Primary Server without SSL in Mixed Mode
While I'm big on having WSUS 3.0 SP1 on a separate server when it comes to SCCM, I have to do what the budget calls for sometimes. In large sites where you will have thousands of clients getting updates, you may need one or more SUP servers. In a smaller site, one will be enough. A WSUS 3.0 server (stand alone) will support 20,000 systems. When you need to put WSUS and the SUP role on the same server, you have to be a little careful about port issues. Both your MP and WSUS will default to port 80. In the installation of WSUS, you are given the option to use the default website or create a new website. If WSUS will be on a SCCM server, always make sure to select the option to create a new website. If you have both on port 80, clients will become confused and not function properly.
The video shows the proper way to setup WSUS 3.0 SP1 on a SCCM server and validate it's working and how to validate that the client is responding to the proper server and port.
