When you install and configure a software update point in Configuration Manager 2012, the port settings used by the Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server must be specified.

Use one of the following procedures to determine the port settings used by WSUS.

  1. On the WSUS server, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  2. Expand Web Sites, right-click the Web site for the WSUS server, and then click Properties.

  3. Click the Web Site tab. The HTTP port setting is displayed in TCP port, and the HTTPS port setting is displayed in SSL port.

To determine the port settings used in IIS 7.0

  1. On the WSUS server, open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  2. Expand Sites, right-click the Web site for the WSUS server, and then click Edit Bindings. In the Site Bindings dialog, the HTTP and HTTPS port values are displayed in the Port column.
