I was trying to move WSUS_Database from one drive to another. I have internal database not SQLServer express on server.

The WSUSUtil movecontent did not work because WSUSUtil is not installed ion the server (admins console is). I tried to delete database by selecting no content on server in files and locations. That started a reconfiguration that did not end. I then removed the WSUS role and re-installed (after reboot). Now I get post configuration failure:

Generation of encryption key to save to the database failed. Error=System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot save configuration because the server is still processing a previous configuration change. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: spSetConfiguration was called while a Reset Process was Needed/InProgress cannot change Configuration at this time

StartServer encountered errors. Exception=Cannot save configuration because the server is still processing a previous configuration change. Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.CommandException: Failed to start and configure the WSUS service

How can I get this working and clear the pending process?

We have wsus server on Windows Server 2008 R2 with hot fixe for WSUS server:

Hotfix for Windows Server Update Services 3.0. SP2 KB2720211

Hotfix for Windows Server Update Services 3.0. SP2 KB2734608

But when I install windows 7 on new computer 17 package dont install with error 80244019 (including sp1 for windows 7). Another 80 packages intstall correct.

(screenshot http://clip2net.com/s/73dcAH)

What is it may be? Please help me resolve that problem.

I've got a problem with a new WSUS Server, after changing it to replicate mode. After the change the one client, I'am testing the functionallity at the moment, doesn't report to the server. So I think there is a problem with the first server wich is the upstremserver. On the upstreamserver was once LUP installed, that was before my time.

That is my environment

Upstream Server is a Server 2008 R2 with  WSUS 3.2.7600.226 (Local Contend store)

Downstream Server is a Server 2012 R2 with WSUS 6.3.96000.16384 (Clients set to download from microsoft)

hi

Iwant to make an image from win 7 and all the software and applications installed on it in order to use in WDS(windows deployment service) I need to know how can I make an image after syspreping 

best regards

I'm not using Proxy server and this is the only WSUS server in our environment and update source is to sync from Microsoft Update site.

Synchronization completes successfully and every update files is not downloading. When I look at the download status from the main page, it said it downloaded, but when I look at the files from updates folder, it said failed to download.

I'm getting following error messages:

Content file download failed.
Reason: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) requires that the server support the Range protocol header.

Hi,

I have two separate domains without trust relationship and couple Windows 2003 systems on a workgroup.  I am planning to setup WSUS on Windows 2012 standard server to provide updates for both domains and workgroup systems.  Can I setup WSUS on a workgroup and point both domains and workgroup systems via registry?  Is that going to create an issue to update both domains and workgroup systems? Is this the right setups below to point systems via registry?

"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001 "TargetGroup"="Managed Workgroup" "ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000000 "WUServer"="http://wsus1.domain.com""WUStatusServer"=http://wsus1.domain.com
Thanks

Hi all

I put a request through for hotfix kb2661001 but when I try to apply it to my test server (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) I receive the "Update is not applicable to your computer" error. I have double-checked we do not already have it installed. Any possible cause for this?

Thanks

hi,

I have installed successfully the Patch NDP20SP2-KB2656352-x86.exe on window server 2003 which also has .net framework 2.0 .

I am facing the validations issue while accessing one of the .aspx page.

Error is"Operation is not valid due to current state of the object".

When I revert this patch my issue gets resolved.

Please suggest on this.

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm planning to deploy WSUS server for 4000 servers windows update management. But I have below queries on deploying.

1.) How many servers can contact single WSUS server at same to download updates?

2.) What is the hardware configuration would you suggest for this deployment?

3.) if you thought I need to go for load balance. then which method you suggest. like down stream server method, NLB etc?

Thanks in advance :)

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to get a report in WSUS that would show which individual update is approved for which of my WSUS groups?  It would also need to include inherited approvals.

Something like this:

Title              GroupA        GroupB        GroupC        GroupD
KB12345        Y                     Y                   Y                Y
KB54321        Y                     Y                   N                Y
KB00000        Y                     N                   N               N

Is this possible with Power Shell or a database query?  I'm not quite sure how to make a script that would work to display with that output.

I can make an update view with a single group picked and the "Updates are approved for a specific group (not including inherited approvals)" option, but that does not help me much since many updates are approved for All Computers so I don't see the inherited updates in the list then when I do it per group.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Hi there,

I have just recently installed server 2012 and I was having problems with wsus so I uninstalled it. After uninstalling WSUS I keep getting this error"The request to list features available on the specified server failed.The operation cannot be completed, because the server that you specified requires a restart." 

I am not able to add or remove any features now and all the features boxes are in red.

Also when i log in as administrator its logging on as a temp account. 

Any ideas????

This update (MSXML 4.0 SP3) is not available in my WSUS Server. I have tried to import the service pack but when searching the Microsoft Catalog it is not found. I am tryuing to update my WSUS server with this service pack for workstations in my domain.

The WSUS support site states that WSUS should update with a new catagory "Microsoft XML Core Services", which will have a granular approach to selecting xml technologies. This has not happened on my server.

Any ideas on how I should proceed on updating my WSUS server so that this Service Pack will be installed?

Hi -

I have a number of machines with a bloated Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.  I usually address this by:

1. Stopping the Automatic Updates service.
2. Deleting the Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
3. Restarting the Automatic Updates service.

I'm considering using a computer startup script to perform this task automatically.  Does anyone have a more elegant method of automating this task?

Thanks in advance for your input.
