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?
