Re: How-to Uninstall WSUS

Post up your Group policy entries on your server.

Also I use 'use client side targeting' as well, did you use that?

Sorry! Sync is OK. I had the wrong port for proxy server. Still no clients calling home. I have unticked compression in IIS and am waiting for clients to appear.

Hi Susan,

I uninstalled WSUS and the WSUS SQL instance, installed hot fix and reinstalled WSUS and now WSUS will not synchronise with Microsoft (this is new) and clients still don't call home (original problem). Clientdiag shows same error. This is very bad :--(

Cheers,
Bill

Hotfix is enough though.

One or the other will fix it up.

Get that hotfix
Untick the compression in IIS

Absolfreakinglutely a known issue with WSUS. I hit this during the WSUS beta and SBS's version of WSUS is being tweaked to ensure this doesn't happen.

For long term purposes get the hotfix.

Hi Susan,

Issue is that clients (including the SBS/WSUS server itself) refuse to call home, i.e., they never appeared in WSUS admin console. I know WSUS works, I have six or seven installations that installed and worked with no tweaking whatsoever, but not on this puppy - only difference with this server vs others that 'just work' is that it was swing migrated. This may have a bearing?

I have not requested the hotfix because I was uncertain about its applicability. I was not sure about 'turning off compression' either because I didn't know how to do this. I believe this is an either/or solution. I am willing to try if you can help me a bit.

Cheers,
Bill

Bill.. what's the issues you are having.. WSUS works...

Did you apply the hotfix or uncheck compression?

I have given up trying to make this work on a particular server and now want to remove all trace of it. Do I merely reverse the steps used to install on SBS? Is there a risk that something might get broken during the process?
