How many clients Is a single WSUS server designed to support when the minimum system requirements are met?

Microsoft's WSUS deployment guidance specifies that a single WSUS server with minimum system requirements (adequate CPU, RAM, and disk) can manage and serve updates to up to 10,000 client machines. This capacity figure is used in exam objectives to establish baseline WSUS scalability planning expectations.

5,000 clients falls below the documented minimum-requirements capacity of a single WSUS server and does not match Microsoft's stated baseline figure.

1,000 clients significantly underestimates the capacity of a WSUS server even at minimum specifications and is not cited in Microsoft's WSUS planning documentation.
