WSUS farm for managing Windows 10 clients only - Best design??


hello-

i've got set wsus farm managing windows 10 clients only.  clients reach numbers of 20k or more refresh our windows 7 clients.

thinking i'd use network load balancing , set main wsus server , several additional wsus servers in replica mode handle load. i've read, looks each wsus server, main or replica requires database.  plan use sql main server because has potential grow quite large thousands of clients, should replica servers connect own sql server database well? 

also, potentially connected sccm, however, i'm not familiar sccm @ all, right discussion best stick wsus.  ....unless critical...   =;^) 

all servers windows server 2012r2.

is best way this?  suggestions appreciated!!

thanks,
chris


hi cdlwood,

1. wsus, not in sccm. may specify store updates.

if choose store updates locally, can limit updates downloaded server language.

if choose store update files on microsoft update, wsus server obtains metadata updates. in scenario, update files come directly microsoft update , downloaded @ time of installation on client computers receiving updates. need make sure client computers have direct access microsoft update in scenario.

2. wsus in sccm, far know, possible multiple wsus instances part of sccm share same database not configured nlb cluster.

for more detailed information wsus in sccm, you'd turn sccm better help:

3. since number of clients are quite large (reach 20k), recommend involve professional engineer make detailed deployment plan it. , far i'm concerned, you'd better separated clients different parts @ first.

best regards,

anne
