Re: Patch Manager/WSUS on 2012 server. Everything was fine, until we installed WDS yesterday. Now WSUS has basically disappeared from the server. Where do i start?

I would encourage you to re-evaluate exactly what happened during your WDS installation.

I can tell you for a fact that it will work, because I have DHCP, WSUS, WDS, and a Patch Manager Automation Role server all installed together on a single Windows Server 2012 instance.

The specific order of installation was:

1. WSUS (w/WebServer Role)
2. Patch Manager Automation Role
3. DHCP
4. WDS
