Using PDQ Deploy alongside WSUS

Doing research into an issue I'm having on my WSUS server where the WSUS services keep bombing out every few days. We can't find a common denominator but I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with a server housing both PDQ Deploy and WSUS as I can't seem to find a straight answer in the existing PDQ documentation as to whether both applications are trying to access the same service.

We have WSUS and PDQ installed alongside each other on Server 2012 and haven't had any issues.

I have WSUS on the same server as my PDQ Server. No issue here.

Hi,

I was wondering if community found a solution for his issue, because we are having the same issue I think.

I had a server with WSUS and PDQ installed and WSUS was taking all the bandwidth. so I installed PDQ on another server for a month and I just shutdown the first server. Now I tried to install WSUS again on the new server (windows server 2016) and for some reason the server send a lot of data on the port 445(SMB) to our computer on the network. Even if I stop WSUS service the issue remain, so that is why I think it maybe related to PDQ. I don't know if it help, but I captured packet with wireshark and I can see the transmission is between port 445 and 64400
