This post will teach you how to install WSUS for ConfigMgr Software Update Point (SUP). Let’s see how to install WSUS on Server 2019 for SCCM SUP.

The software update point (SUP) is a necessary component on the central administration site and primary sites to ensure software update compliance and deploy software updates to clients, while it is optional on secondary sites.

The software update point site system role should be established on a server with WSUS installed, as it interacts with WSUS services to configure software update settings and request synchronization of software update metadata.

When dealing with a Configuration Manager hierarchy, the first step is to install and configure the software update point on the central administration site, then on child primary sites, and optionally on secondary sites. In the case of a stand-alone primary site, without a central administration site, the software update point configuration should begin on the primary site, followed by secondary sites as an option.

Different settings are accessible depending on the site level where the software update point is configured, requiring consideration of various options based on the installation location.
