asked on

how to configure wsus server for port 8530

hi i have a windows 2003 domain/gpo network and i have successfully downloaded updates via my wsus domain member server via port 80.

note: i have removed port 80 and replaced gpo with:

http:wsus:8530 via gpo

step 1

i have uninstalled and removed all traces of wsus software

step 2

re-installed clean wsus software via port 8530 successfully

step 3

configured isa 2006 vpn

selected toolbox tab
selected 'user defined'
added 'outbound tcp traffic'
added from: 8530 to: 8530

name: wsus
action: allow
protocols: outbound tcp traffic
from/listener: wsus server
to: external
condition: all authenticated users/all users

step 3

ran wsus wizard to connect but failed

note: i think i may need to download some 'script' to get this to work but not sure!

qns1.  can anyone help as not sure how to activate https if this needs to also be configured ?

hi dstewartjr, (qns = question) :)

my wsus install appears to be simular to your below url:

Install and configure WSUS 3.0 SP2 – Step-By-Step(Including ISA 2006)
http://araihan.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/install-and-configure-wsus-3-0-sp2-step-by-step/ 

note:

the reason for wanting to know how to download wsus updates from microsoft to a single wsus domain member server was because i wish to use exchange 2003, hence port 8530..!!

in my gpo i added:

\\wsus:8530

question1.

but according to above url, it states to follow 'web publishing rule' - this i have not done for wsus via 8530 .. ?

question2.

also i do not have a webpage so do i still complete 'web publishing rule' if i still require use of port: 8530 - ?

hi bembi, i have now my wsus domain member server working now!

yes my gpo was set to: http:wsus:8530 - my previous comments showed a typo - all ok

currently i have no external clients that need to connect to my wsus so presumably i should remove my 'web listener' for my wsus server ?

i was advised that if i am to run exchange on my server and also wish to run wsus on same exchange server, then i should configure: http://wsus:8530 and exchange will use by default port 80 as normal

i can now download wsus updates which i resolved myself!  but will allocate points still to expert as all advice is definately useful.

the only issue i had was that all my configurations were correct except after installing wsus i added port 8530 for the initial detection, which was incorrect and should have still been port 80.  due to gpo already set to point to: 8530 also

appreciated
