for the updates?
a. none
b. one
c. two
d. three

computers into computer groups based on operating system. Instead, you can
deploy the updates as you deploy any other updates. If the update does not apply
to the system because the update was specified for one version of Windows yet the
system has another version, the patch will not be deployed to the system and the
WSUS console will show that the patch was not needed.
Short Answer
17. What are the minimum disk space requirements for a new WSUS 3.0 SP2
installation?
Answer: 10 GB for WSUS, 2 GB for the database, and 30 GB for updates
Difficulty: Medium
Section Ref: Installing WSUS
Explanation: A WSUS server requires about 10 gigabytes (GB) of disk space for
WSUS to run and 2 GB minimum to store the database. You will also need at least 30
GB to store the updates locally; however, depending on how many updates you
need to store, you will most likely need much more.
18. Which database is required for WSUS?
Answer: Microsoft SQL Server (2012, 2008, or 2005 SP2) or Windows Internal
Database
Difficulty: Medium
Explanation: You can specify a deadline when you approve an update or set of
updates on the WSUS server. Setting a deadline causes clients to install the update
at a specific time. If the client contacts the server after the update deadline has
passed, it tries to install the update as soon as possible. If you want computers to
install an update immediately, you can specify a deadline in the past.
