Should configure WSUS in a high security environment. We have a WSUS Server in a DMZ that is not domain joined. a WSUS replica server in the LAN should pull updates and approvals from the WSUS server in the DMZ over SSL.
Technet, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852346.aspx states that "Clients and downstream servers that are configured to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or HTTPS must also be configured to use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for their upstream WSUS server."
Our upstream WSUS server is a stanalone server without a FQDN. There is no DNS suffix configured. My question: Is it possible to encrypt the traffic between the upstream and downstrem WSUS server in this case?
Thank you in advance for any help.
