Re: SBS R2 Update Service

Many thanks Les.

I tried to re-install as suggested but now I'm getting an error telling me
the installation failed and to look in the installation log. I've attached
the log file to this message at the top of the thread.

Hi Richard,

If you can't reverse the changes, then you can rerun setup from the
Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 CD #6. This is the R2 Technologies
CD.
Software updates are not managed by Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server 2003 Update Services

I stupidly started playing with R2's Update Service settings and now, in
the Server Performance Report I get the message:

"Windows Small Business Server (Windows SBS) Update Services is not
running because it automatically turns off if you customize Windows
Server Update Services (WSUS). For a list of specific settings that cause
Windows SBS Update Services to turn off, see the Microsoft Web site. Even
if WSUS is managing updates for your network, the accuracy of the status
in the Windows SBS monitoring report or on the Update Services home page
cannot be guaranteed. To use Windows SBS Update Services, reverse the
changes that you have made to WSUS or reinstall Windows SBS 2003 R2. "

I tried to re-install as suggested but now I'm getting an error telling
me the installation failed and to look in the installation log. I've
attached the log file.

Does anyone know how to reset Update Services to their default settings?
