WSUS SP1

[tosca925]

Any body installed this yet?

I i correct in thinking it is a full install that over installs your current WSUS and not jsut a SP

Didn't even know it was out! EEK! Is it designed to bin expired updates and declined ones automatically and clean the database of duplicate machines?

I need to get this implemented over the summer - need to get a spar box to handle it though!

Damn I just moved my WSUS to a different server last week too.

Should be able to download it before they get in to school.

I'm currently running WSUS and don't have any Vista clients or SQL 2005 so I think I'll wait for reports of the service pack before installing it. WSUS is already doing a superb job keeping all my 2000/XP machines updated.

[E1uSiV3]

Looks good!

Can WSUS be added to a normal Server 2003 Domain Controller or does it have to run on a seperate box?

I want to try this at one of my schools tommorow, but they only have one Server which acts as the Domain, DNS, DHCP, Fileserver. Would adding IIS6/WSUS be okay? The server is a P4 3.06Ghz, 1.5Gb Ram, SATA, RAID and is used by less then 40 clients.

Thanks
