Hello and thanks for help in advance.
I had an install of WSUS 3.0 on a Server 2012 VM. It was working for a few months and then the console started showing an error and nothing could be accessed. One of our techs uninstalled IIS and WSUS and tried to re-install them both and started running into another error that I have been left to fix. The error happens after the IIS and WSUS roles are installed and the post-install tasks are started. I have searched the forums for my specific error and have come up with several results that are not the same error as I am encountering. Here is the error from the failure log.
FixSubscriptionCategories failed. Exception: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer
for 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.ApiRemoting' threw an exception. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'Update Services' is denied.
I'm burnt out on ideas on where to go next so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
