I have Processor Intel Core   -I3-3220 and hard disk is 320 gb Ram 2 gb, kindly guide me about how much Memory required

for windows server 2012 standard server

Hi

 For 2012 minmum requerments;

min: 1.4 Ghz x64 processor

min: 512 Mb Ram

min: 32 Gb disc

Check for system requirements for Windows server 2012

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn303418.aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396

WSUS min requerments;

processor : 1.4 GHz x64 (2 ghz or faster recommended)

memory : 2 Gb of ram more than what is required by the server

disc : 10 Gb (40 Gb or greater is recommended)

Network adapter : 100 megabits per second or greater

check for WSUS system requirements;

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852345.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

There is another aspect of choice, namely which applications and operating systems you will update. In time when price of HDD and RAM are relatively low, there is no need to stick strictly with minimum requirements. (Yes, unless you used SSD disk)

In my installation I used RAM 8GB and higher and space for updates was not smaller than 100GB. Ethernet speed at present time is about 1Gbps. I have supported 3-4 operating systems, Office, Visual Studio, TMG, various components and small programs from MS. (I have tested WSUS with the same CPU (reduced power T edition) and the system worked as expected.)

Even if you will have enough space and memory, I recommend to clean WSUS regularly.

Follow installation guides. It payoff.

Remember that WSUS is "slow response" system and wait when scheduled task is done. Use built in tool to do so.)

Hi,

The database of the WSUS may occupy a lot of RAM if we check a lot of products in the WSUS server.

In my lab, I checked all of the products and classification, database occupies 5GB RAM.

Best Regards.
