I have installed WSUS but the post installation task fails. I tried deleting the default website and re-installing which did not work. This is on a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2012, which is our only server, demoting it is unfortunately not an option.
Have wasted a lot of time on this, would greatly appreciate some support.
Here is the last part of the error log:
