Hello

Yes you can install on any server, if you have ressources available

2 Just select the applications you want, like windows 7, server, office, and all patch you want.
i use a gpo to my client now where is WSUS.

You can select wich time you want to deploy the patchs, so avoid busy hours.

Hi Member_2_7966275

WSUS is a small service, with small consumption of resources but it has a few minimal requirements, such as these:

>> Disk space to storage all the updates: Typically 150 GB is good enough, but in your case, this can be more (or less) depending the classes you have selected on the Products and Classifications options.

>> RAM: Usually the most important chunk of memory is used on the WSUS Database Engine. If you use the Windows Internal Database (WID) then reserve at least 2GB of RAM on WSUS server, else you will be using a dedicated SQL server that I assume it has already all needed RAM.
