    would having apache on the same server as a WSUS server stop the updates from deploying to the client computers because apache is using port 80?? also do both the Default Web Site and the WSUS Administration sites be running in IIS for the updates to deploy??

    That depends. If you've installed WSUS to the Default Web Site, then you cannot have both Apache and IIS answering on port 80, so yet, it would affect one of them.

    also do both the Default Web Site and the WSUS Administration sites be running in IIS for the updates to deploy??

    If WSUS is installed to the "WSUS Administration" v-root (port 8530), and the Default Web Site is stopped, this will not impact the ability of clients to get updates, but it will cause the WSUS server to incessantly gripe about the missing resources on port 80 that it expects to see.

    In short, Apache and WSUS generally cannot co-exist on the same system.
