Re: WSUS RTM breaks SBS 2003 SP1 reporting



Actually, no. I didn't install the RC of WSUS on my SBS server. Previously I
had SUS installed. I suspected there might be issues with the RC so I waited
until RTM. Someone else just pointed me to a different article involving the
loopback address (now checked as part of W2K3 SP1). I'm going to try that
but my problem with reporting didn't start until after WSUS was installed
(i.e. it worked properly after the SBS Sp1 upgrade process).

Regards,

Stuart.
