Hi, I have opened Windows Server Update Servicesas I usually do to see which updates I need to approve and I am getting an error.
The only changes to our server, was Backup Exec 2012 was installed during the week.
BE 2012 is working fine, it is just WSUS which appears to be not working.
The error is as follows:
The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API. Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service. The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.

I have tried restarting the services it suggested, no difference.
