    Hello,

    The server with WSUS is crashed. I need to rebuilt WSUS on a new server. Anything do I need to consider before doing this? Kindly advice. 

    Regards,

    Tony

    Not really. If you rebuild on a new system with the same hostname then the clients should start talking to it that day. If you need to use a new hostname, be sure to update the client configurations. If you need to use a new IP Address, be sure to update DNS.
