[sccm 2012] SCCM on 2008 R2 Server communicating with WSUS 4.0 on 2012 Server

[Geoff]

I want to know if this is a working configuration. I need to use WSUS 4.0 to get my Windows 10 servicing working properly. If I install the WSUS 3.0 admin console on the 2008 R2 server will SCCM 2012 be able to manage the remote WSUS 4.0 install on the 2012 server properly (and thus mean the servicing works).

I don't believe so. I had the same issue and IIRC and after a bit of research concluded that it wasn't possible. In the end I migrated sccm to a 2012r2 server.

 

Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.

I'm trying a little experiment. I'm building a 2012 server with WSUS and making that the SUP.

@sparkeh do you have a migration guide for what you did?

Yeah I followed the migration steps here: https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/sccm-1511-migration/

 

In truth, I would seriously consider the backup and restore option. I discovered a bit of legwork to be done after the migration and not everything is done automatically.

Yep, no dice :/
