WSUS and SEPM conflict

Guys, i came across this issue today. You will likely see this if you install WSUS and SEPM on the same server using their default settings.

The problem is both WSUS and SEPM create a virtual directory in IIS called content. So if you install them both on the same server whichever one you installed first will stop working correctly. In the issue i saw WSUS clients could no longer download updates.

Easiest thing for me to do was create a new WSUS site on the server running on port 8530 and recreate the WSUS virutal directory structure, then update the WSUS GPO to reflect the new port settings.

How to determine if your computer is 32-Bit or 64-Bit

When downloading a software program, you may be asked whether it's for an operating system that's 32-bit or 64-bit. Most PCs currently are 32-bit machines; their processors can handle 32 bits of data at a time.

Following these steps on a Windows operating system, you can determine whether your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 5 minutes

Here's How:

1. Open the System Information

   Open the Start menu, and click on Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

2. Look in the System Summary

   The System Information tool will display detailed information about your Windows operating system. Once opened it will show the "System Summary" – it’s an overview of your computer and operating system.

3. Look for the System Type Item

   On the right hand side of the window you will see a list of items. Look for the item called "System Type".

   The value of this item will tell you whether your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit:

   • x86-based PC: It’s a 32-bit computer.
   • x64-based PC: It’s a 64-bit computer.

Even though i am migrating to Linux, am currently working WSUS and SEP on win 2003 server environment, a lot challanges but i will advance this dense forest soon and be able 2 share the experiences absolutely for free!
