2: Bind SSl certificate to WSUS website in IIS manager.
3: Enable require SSL on WSUS Virtual Directories.

Very good step-by-step video. Kudos!

I am wondering if we can install certificate to 1 of the Downstream server. This downstream server is our Public Facing WSUS. Will that work?

My WSUS is isolated and its not in a domain. It is in a workgroup. Workstations are communicating with him with IP address. Can I put IP address instead the full WSUS name in Powershell and on GPOs later ?

If we create self signed certificate then do we need to import it on all servers?

SELECT button is greyed out on 2nd screen when I try to create certificate.

Can we install a SSL on Workgroupd WSUS server by choosing the option "create domain certificate" which is grayed out for me, not allowing to choose the domain even thought I have configure ADCS service on my DC. Please suggest to generate a key for a workgroup wsus server
