My previous WSUS install used ports 8530 and 31 by default as 80 and 443
were already being used on the server. In the GPO I just pointed the clients
to that port and everything worked fine.

Subject: RE: Ports for WSUS
So I'm finding conflicting information for the ports used to communicate to
Microsoft's Update servers. One says WSUS uses 80 and 443, non-changeable.
Another says that if I'm using the custom WSUS site within IIS, then it can
use the same 8530/8531.
Anyone know the real-life answer?

Thanks Ken, does it use the same ports to talk to Windows Update? The task
is to figure out what specific ports I need to allow through the firewall.

That is for clients to connect to WSUS. The admin console also works over
those ports.
WSUS also needs to connect to an upstream server.

Just checking my logic here. The only port(s) that WSUS needs is whatever
you setup in the IIS site, correct? So, by defaults, if you use the default
website, it would be 80 and 443; and if you use the customized WSUS site,
it is 8530 and 8531.
Are there any other ports that need to be opened?
