I am configuring the software update point to use TLS\SSL with a PKI certificate.

Do the clients require the certificate as well, or only the SUP server to the Primary site server?

    Hi, @ige dan

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The clients do not require the PKI certificate, only the software update point server needs to have the certificate installed.

    This is because the certificate is used to secure the communication between the software update point and the WSUS server. The clients communicate with the software update point, not directly with the WSUS server.
