Re: MMC error on opening WSUS 3.0

Did you install all the prerequisites listed in the release notes?
Especially this one? I think WSUS will install OK without it, but you need
it for the console to work. If you install the console on your XP
workstation, you'll need the MMC 3 download for that as well (XP is a
different download). And, you're going to need the reporting app listed in
the release notes if you don't have that one.

installed WSUS 3.0 on SBS 2003 Premium SP1 (ISA 2000) and get this error
on
opening WSUS 3.0:

mmc cannot open the file c:\program files\update
services\administrationsnapin\wsus.msc

this may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
created with a later version of MMC. this may also be because you do not
have
sufficient access rights to the file.

had installed WSUS 2.0 before and upgraded.

read something about a hotfix which is needed...

also i cannot upgrade sbs 2003 premium services (ISA 2004) because not
available at the moment on microsoft site...
