Database Size and Requirement for WSUS 3.0
I have just gone through Deployment Guide of WSUS and it seems as if there's no metrics for Database usage. I want to know if Windows Internal Database have size limits like SQL MSDE ?? What's the maximum number of systems that can be managed by the Database ??? Is there anyone who is aware of all these things in detail???
Re: Database Size and Requirement for WSUS 3.0
As far as i am aware the limitation on WMSDE for WSUS 2.0 is 2,500. It can cap up to 4,000 clients but that would depend on the hardware that you will install under your WSUS server.

I am thinking to use vmware or hyperV to install wsus 3 sp2, and using Google to search and no result. Probably, some body in this thread will tell me whether I can install wsus 3 sp2 on the virtual machine (either vm or hyperV).
My current condition, I have 1 upstream server and 3 down stream servers, they all in individual box. Since those boxes are old and my boss asked me whether it is possible to install wsus on the virtual machine.
I have about 4000 pcs and distribute evenly on those 3 downstream servers.
I will appreciate that if someone can tell me whether it is possible to install wsus on the virtual and with existing condition.

Perfectly possible. I have 4 WSUS servers running in VMWare servers in 3 different sites accross the US. Never had any problem.
We currently have (approx) 3,500 windows machines being served.
Three of the WSUS servers are connected as downstream servers, getting updates from the primary, which in turn, gets the updates from Microsoft.
