I'm looking for some help troubleshooting WSUS Role (Re)Install on Server 2012, we are seeing the error "Post-deployment Configuration" Failed.
The Role install process itself completes without error, but the post-deployment configuration task fails almost immediately with a generic error stating "Configuration failed. A log file was created at ..." and the referenced log file is always present but 1K on disk and seems to be empty, so I don't really have any good clues as to what is going wrong.
I have tried both the default WID option as well as pointing to an instance of SQL2012 running locally on the box (for SCCM 2012). One underlying question is if WSUS does in fact support SQL 2012, but since the install fails when using WID as well I don't THINK this is the issue.
IIS (Web role) is already installed and seems to be running properly, i.e. I can browse to the default home page. SCCM is also installed and has some roles configured, but I'm at the point of installing WSUS so the roles that depend on that are not currently installed.
I have tried removing the WSUS role, rebooting, and reinstalling with no change. I have also tried to follow all of the "forced" uninstall instructions on this forum (mainly http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverwsus/thread/f447e7d6-7007-4eb6-b38b-90f92525e09), but between not being able to find a trustworth source for the now defunct Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and also not finding the MSIZAP tool in 2012, there isn't much useful there other than some file and registry locations to check, which seem to be uninstalling cleanly when I remove the role and reboot.
I'd appreciate any clues on what other logs to check or what else might be going wrong. Please let me know if you need any other details of the problem.
Thanks,
