Re: SUS Server Hardware

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

SUS runs on low-end hardware.  We used it with many more clients on a
lesser box and it worked fine.  If anything, the low-end box was helpful in
that its lower performance had the side effect of  throttling bandwidth
usage somewhat.

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?
