Dis you ever find the fix to this problem? The problem I'm having is
that the update service doesn't show up in the server management
console. But if I goto the WSUS admin web page it installed and my
workstations are show up.

Any Idea?

I used the built-in administrator to upgrade my server from SBS 2003 Premium
to SBS 2003 R2 and received an error when the installation tried to setup
WSUS. The error is:

"Windows Small Business Server Update Services has encountered an error and
cannot continue. See the log file at C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs\R2_Setup.log for more
information."

I had WSUS previously installed. I uninstalled WSUS and rebooted the server
and tried again and still have the same problem. When I start WSUS it runs
but there are no computers in any groups. WSUS is also not showing up on the
SBS Management console. Any ideas?

I cannot attach the logs because they're too long but I would be happy to
email them to someone.
