- Thread-topic: SUS Server Hardware
I would strongly recommend against installing IIS services on a
domain controller.
Saying that, your spare machines would
be more than adequate to serve your remote client workstations
I too have the
same scenario and run 2500+ client machines off of a single P4 2.4GHz machine
with no
unbearable load on the machine. The network is what I have
found to be the most limiting factor when
distributing patches via
SUS.
Hope it helps!

Subject: SUS Server Hardware
In deploying SUS, I'd like to
maximize my bandwidth and deploy a local SUS server in each of my remote
offices, so those local machines get their patches from that server. In
many of these offices, this machine is a Windows 2003 DC running WINS, DNS, DHCP
and file storage. They are typically 1ghz machines or faster with 512megs
of RAM. My newer machines are 2.4ghz P4's. There is plenty of HDD
space.
Would it not be adviseable to run an SUS server on these machines,
or does it not matter? If it's not adviseable, then I'd probably not
deploy a local SUS server and make them update over the WAN (not my preffered
method).
For my main office, I have some spare machines, older Dell PE's
in the 700mhz P3 range, 1 gig of RAM. Is this level of machine adequate to
handle 100-150 clients?
