I can't tell what broke SBS Monitoring but since you decided to reinstall
it, you have to remove WSUS 3.0 first. The following is from Microsoft's
"Installing Windows Server Update Services 3.0 on Windows Small Business
Server 2003"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------­------------------------------------
Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2
components on a server that is running WSUS 3.0

You cannot reinstall Windows SBS 2003 R2 components if Setup detects WSUS
3.0 on the server. To reinstall Windows SBS 2003 R2 components on your
server, do the following:

1. Back up the WSUS 3.0 databases, updates, and log files.

2. Uninstall WSUS 3.0.

3. Uninstall Windows SBS 2003 R2 components.

4. Reinstall Windows SBS 2003 R2 components in Maintenance Mode.

5. Upgrade WSUS 2.0 to WSUS 3.0.

6. Restore the WSUS 3.0 databases, updates, and log files.

mmm....so upgrading WSUS 2.0 to WSUS 3.0 broke SBS Monitoring. Now at
this point I'm supposed to uninstall WSUS 3.0 so I can reinstall/fix
SBS MONITORING and then reinstall WSUS 3.0 again? This is a bit too
weird for me...

Please confirm this is your understanding as well and I'll go ahead
and give this a shot....I'm kind of desperate....i wasted two days on
this already...:-(

Thanks a lot...
