Setting up WSUS for remote SQL


greetings,

the "appendix c:remote sql" section of microsoft document "deploying microsoft windows server update services" has instructions on how install wsus remote type sql configuration.

the command install wsus on front-end computer is: wsussetup.exe /f

the command install wsus on back-end computer is: wsussetup.exe /b

these command line parameters not valid wsus30-kb972455-x64.exe file, current
