WSUS Server Role Installation
- For this lecture, we will be installing WSUS on the ITFSCCM01 server. Open Server Manager, click Add Roles and Features, click next, click next again. From Server Selection, verify that the installation server is correct, then click next.

- At this point, there is no need for further WSUS configuration. You do not need to Launch Post-Installation tasks, only click close.
Configuration manager will be used to download, synchronize and deploy our updates, so there is no further WSUS configuration necessary.
For verification, the WSUSCtrl.log file provides information about the configuration, database connectivity, and health of the WSUS server for the site. Open this log file using CMtrace.exe. CMtrace.exe is a real time logfile viewer for System Center Configuration Manager. It can be found on the SCCM server installation folder in this case on ITFSCCM
