I am currently working as a Senior Field Consultant. I started my professional career in 1999 in India. In the year 1999 I decided to transition from the Retail Industry to hard core Information Technology, which was always my strength and desire. I realised my strengths and keen interest when I worked on Dbase III Plus a few years back but due to various constraints I could not pursue my career at that point in time. I have worked in various capacities in the fields of Software Technology, as Systems administrator, Systems Support Engineer, Implementations Engineer and Senior Implementation Engineer. Currently, I am based as Senior Field Consultant for a Microsoft Gold Partner in Oxford, U.K.

Step by step guide installing SCCM 2007 Part 9 we will cover installation of WSUS. This can be done after installing SCCM 2007. The Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 administrator console is required on the Configuration Manager 2007 site server to allow the site server and remote Configuration Manager consoles to configure and synchronize software update points. The WSUS 3.0 Administration console can be installed using the wizard or installed silently from a command line.

Step by step guide installing SCCM 2007 Part 9 we will cover installation of WSUS. This can be done after installing SCCM 2007. The Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 administrator console is required on the Configuration Manager 2007 site server to allow the site server and remote Configuration Manager consoles to configure and synchronize software update points. The WSUS 3.0 Administration console can be installed using the wizard or installed silently from a command line.

We will need WSUS in future anyways in this lab so I have decided to not only install the console including the full product 3.5 SP2.

Before a software update point can successfully be installed and configured on a site system server in Configuration Manager 2007, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 must be installed on the server.


Note: DO NOT confgiure WSUS though the Configuration Wizard.

The WSUS 3.0 configuration wizard automatically starts after the Setup wizard completes. Because Configuration Manager 2007 manages the WSUS settings, you should exit the configuration wizard after it opens.








Note: while this wizard is completing it takes a long period of time to download the new version from Microsoft so please be patient and watch out for the window below to open and start eh installation.

Click Install




Click Next



Click I accept the terms of the License agreement, and then click Next.






Select Store updates locally, specify the path,  (point it to a partition of your choice which has enough free space to store the updates) and then click Next





Click Next

Note: Do not install WSUS integrated with SQL 2008 if you have purchased a license which is the integrated solution with SCCM 2007 on a single server i.e. SCCM & SQL bundle.

This is in breach of your license agreement as only SCCM database can reside on the installation of SQL 2008.

It is one of those weird things which I don’t understand why it had to be such when WSUS can be integrated within SCCM I am sure they should allow the WSUS database on SQL 2008 as well.

*** Contact Microsoft Licensing for complete clarity ***




If you decide to change this behaviour make sure you keep a note of this as this information will be required when we confgure WSUS using SCCM.

Click Next









Click Finish



Close




DO NOT confgiure WSUS though the Configuration Wizard.

Watch this space for Part 10

Good Luck !!!
