SOLVED SCCM WSUS SQL Server Setup question

[Vishwas Bhanuvalli]

Hello Team,
I would like to know, Can we have SCCM/MECM server, WUSUS server and SQL server on a different servers? If so, Can you please let me know the steps on how to connect all these together?
Also, Please let me know do I face any performance issues since they are all in different servers?

Hello,

there shouldn't be a problem running the SQL server on a different machine but maybe because of licence it is better the other way.
As far as I know SQL server for SCCM is only free of payment when the only data stored on it is from SCCM.
If you want to use WSUS managed by SCCM I think both has to be installed on the same server.
For a selfmanaged WSUS there is no need of this.

I recommend running ConfigMgr and SQL on single VM/Server to get best performance.
