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.

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? >>> "Joseph Heaton" <[email protected]> 9/24/2009 9:10 AM >>> 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. >>> Ken Schaefer <[email protected]> 9/24/2009 8:54 AM >>> 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. Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 24 September 2009 11:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Ports for WSUS 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?
