That's what I did. It was a great way of starting from scratch and not worrying about updates issued years ago. If I ever introduce (ie, image) a new PC from an XP cd or something, I first update it from MS, then let it connect to WSUS. That keeps the WSUS database and cache nice and light.

Assuming all your clients are reasonably up to date I'd just build a new one, let them check-in, and simply approve/reject any new updates as and when the come along. _____ From: Kennedy, Jim [[email protected]] Sent: 17 May 2012 6:49 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: WSUS migration. I am rolling a new WSUS server. Do I have this right? Fire up the new one, make it a replica with the original as its upstream so it picks up existing approvals of updates and all that. Then repoint my clients to the new server, break the replication and decommission the old one?
