you can run it across as many as you like, mine runs across about 80 at the moment, you just have to make sure you can resolve the wsus server from the clients

OK, so it's more like a DNS issue then?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a 192.168.x.x network and a 200.2.x.x network on a single site with approx 350 hosts spread over both.<br />
<br />
I've installed WSUS on a server on the 200 network and set the WSUS group policy at the domain level in active directory so it applies to all hosts. However, when I check under computers in the management console, it only 'sees' hosts in the 200 network - it hasn't picked up any 192.168.x.x machines. We thought perhaps altering the default gateway in the IP config for the 192 machines to the 200.2.x.x DG address but still not working. <br />
<br />
Is this a DNS issue perhaps? Or is it simply that you can't run WSUS across 2 networks and requires a separate WSUS installation on a server in the 192.168 network?<br />
<br />
Any thoughts on this much appreciated<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
<br />

Can WSUS be run across 2 networks?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
