SCCM 2012 RC Part 2

SUP and WDS Roles

Author: Niall C. Brady

Editor: Brian Thorp

In Part 1 of this series we got our AD and SCCM servers ready, and then we installed System

Center 2012 Configuration Manager as a standalone Primary site. Now we will configure the SCCM

server further by adding some Windows Server roles necessary for the following Configuration

Manager 2012 functionality, Software Update Point (SUP) and Operating System Deployment.

Step 1. Add the WSUS Update Services 3.0 SP2 role

Perform the following on the SCCM server as SMSadmin

Before starting this step create a folder on D:\ called sources and share it as sources,

give Everyone Read access.

We'll need the WSUS role installed as part of the Software Update Point role installation in the next

step, so:

Start Server Manager and click on Roles > Add Roles.

Select Windows Server Update Services and a window will pop up asking to add role services

required for Windows Server Update Services (IIS Dynamic Content compression)

Click Add Required Role Services

Click next through the wizard, you'll see the Select Role Services window appear, click next again,

at the confirmation click Install, the WSUS role will be downloaded (so you'll need a network

connection to the Internet)



After a while you'll see the Welcome to Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 setup

wizard appear click next (which is probably hidden behind the active window, so in your system

tray, find it and click on it to show the wizard otherwise you'll be twiddling your thumbs for a long

time wondering what’s going on)

Accept the Eula and click next



Select Update Source, choose where to store the updates locally, select D:\sources\WSUS

for database options choose Use an existing database server on this computer, click next



It will connect to your SCCM SQL server instance, click next

Accept the web site preference, Use an existing Default website



At the ready to install WSUS, click next

Click Finish when done.



Cancel the WSUS Configuration Wizard – System Center will configure this for us.

And close the Roles Wizard



click Next, Next, and Install and click Close when done. Close Server Manager.



Step 3. Add the SUP role

Perform the following on the SCCM server as SMSadmin

Start up the ConfigMgr console, click on Administration in the Wunderbar, click on Site

Configuration, and select Servers and Site System Roles, Right click on your server and

choose Add Site System Role

click next at the Add Site System Roles Wizard



Select Software Update Point and click Next

if you need to input proxy information, do it here



Select Use this server as the Active Software Update Point and the wizard screen will expand as

a result, leave the ports as they are (we didn't change them from the Default when we installed

WSUS)

Specify Synchronization Settings; select Synchronize from Microsoft Update



Next we configure the Schedule and Alert settings, please enable both.

Leave the supersedence rules as they are, note the note about Service packs and Endpoint

Protection updates.



As we will be configuring System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) later in this series, let's

add Definition Updates in the Classifications choice

Remove the checkmarks from Office and Windows in the Products list, we will revisit this list after

our first Sync.



On the Languages screen, remove all checkmarks in all languages except English (well if you want

other languages add them, but for me it's just English)

Click next at the summary and progress, review the completion message and click Close.
