Re: WSuS 3.0 SP2 on SBS 2003 Premium?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Yes they did. Yes it was tested. On both 2k3 and 2k8.

And yes you are supposed to check "All products" as it is designed to ensure that whatever you stick on the network will get detected.

This process is exactly the same identical process to what was there in WSUS 3 sp1. No difference.

Well I ran the update which appears to have worked sort of OK:

* First thing it says is "Exit this wizard and uninstall the previous version of WSUS SP2" - as I had WSUS SP1 installed I did not do this and carried on.

* After the install completed it asked me to specify a vast list of updates to BizTalk server etc. etc. - rediculous on SBS.

* Now my SBS server emails me critical error reports telling me to undo the changes I have made to WSUS or REINSTALL WINDOWS SBS R2!

DID MICROSOFT CHECK OUT THIS UPDATE PROPERLY WITH SBS 2003 BEFORE DEPLOYMENT ???

I don't think so!

MVPs - Can we get MSPSS to write a proper procedure for this update on SBS 2003 asap?

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.
