Re: WSUS and WSS 3.0 broken

Dave,

I failed to mention that the WSS 2.0 and companyweb are accessible, but the
WSS 3.0 that is a standalone install and WSUS 3.0 are not?

Do I still need to uninstall WSS 2.0/companyweb?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if there's a recommended order for doing this. I'd read the
documentation first, and then if you don't find specific guidance, I would
uninstall both, then reinstall companyweb, then reinstall WSUS.

How to remove and how to install the Windows Small Business Server 2003
SharePoint Services 2.0 companyweb Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829114

Is this R2? If so, just uninstall WSUS, then reinstall from the R2 CD.
Otherwise, do the reinstall this way:

Dave,

I do not have data in the companyweb so I would consider going the
reinstall
route for companyweb and WSS. I would appreciate your assistance with
this.

Also, I do not have shadow copy enabled on any of the hard drive.

Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming you have data in your companyweb site that you don't want to
lose. In that case, I'd recommend calling CSS (Microsoft support) and
letting them walk you through the restore procedure.

If you don't have data at risk, you could just reinstall companyweb and
WSUS. Please post back if you need help going that route.

By the way, you might be able to get those database files back from
shadow
copies if they're enabled on the drive where the database was installed.

Nick,

Unfortunately the documentation just gave me the command line string
but
did
not provide the files and paths to the uninstalled db.

I appreciate your input and will post the solution when I find one.

Regards.

Sorry, I don't know the path offhand. My own server has a custom WSUS
install to its own drive, and it was upgraded from WSUS 2, so I can't
say
for sure where they belong. Can you tell from the document that
recommended
deleting the database?

Dave,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I run a full daily backup but am unsure
as
to
the correct path that I need to restore to. I did not want to
restore
the
incorrect files.

Any ideas as to what the correct path might be?

Thanks again for your assistance.

Can you restore a backup of that database? That database is shared
by
things other than WSUS, which I believe is what you're running into
here -
WSS uses that database in addition to WSUS, so you're going to have
to
restore it in order to get WSS working again.

In trying to troubleshoot WSUS 3.0, I saw a post that directed me
to
remove
the Windows Internal Database and reinstall WSUS. Now my WSS 3.0
and
WSUS
applications are broken. I have tried reinstalling both WSS and
WSUS
but I
get a message that "failed to start the database service
MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE".

Also, my event log is a sea of red - Windows Server Update
Services
Event
421: Connection to database failed. Reason=SQL Server does not
exist
or
access denied...:

Any suggestions or assistance as how to fix these applications is
greatly
appreciated.
