SUS Question
Posted by Troy Bruder on November 20th, 2003


Not sure if this is the proper forum or not, but I have a question about
SUS....

Would it be bad to put a SUS server in our DMZ network. I'm thinking about
this configuration because we have both internal desktops that need to be
updated, and 32 remote locations (that are NOT connected by a WAN or VPN
network) that also need updates. I thought the DMZ would be a perfect spot
for SUS as we can configure firewall rules to allow both internal and our
remote sites to gain access to our centralized "approved" updates.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Troy
