Steps For WSUS Disk Space Requirements And Management

WSUS stands for “Windows Server Update Services”. If you are planning on deploying Windows Server Update Services, here are the system requirements that need to be considered:

• 1.4 GHz or faster 64-bit processor
• An additional 2 GB RAM is required above what is required by the server and all other services.
• 10 GB free space
• 100 Mbps network adapter
• Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2008 – this is required for viewing reports.
• Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime – this is required when you are using Windows Server 2016.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 – must be installed on the server where the WSUS server role will be installed.

Also, if you install roles or updates that will require a system restart after the installation, you need to restart the server before you enable the WSUS server role.
