Question

Hello,
I need to verify the system requirements for installing WSUS/WDS on a Windows server 2012 r2 machine virtual machine
(We have VMWARE ESXI 6.0.
Once I verify the requirements then I'll need to make the adjustments on an existing 2012 r2 server on this virtual machine then i'll be ready to install WSUS/WDS.
I can be reached at scott.samuel.w@gmail.com

Hello Anne,
I very much appreciate your response!! It helps me a lot.
The hardware specs are outlined which is what I needed.
Is there a way to determine what the specs of the windows server 2012 r2 server that's on our virtual server should be?
I want to verify that the hard drive and memory for the virtual 2012 r2 is set correctly for WSUS and WDS.
Many thanks!!
