Hi Guys,
Looking for some help to get my WSUS server back online.
I have 1 WSUS server in my environment running WSUS 3.0 SP2 on a Server 2008 R2 Virtual machine. For the most part it works as expected. However, it's not able to update our Server 2012 R2 servers.
After a quick google search I realised that I needed to install KB2734608. After downloading the update I tried to complete the install only for it to error and to my horror WSUS no longer seems to work. I've tried several reboots but from the server the
MMC console fails and forces me to unload it and from my desktop machine I receive the Error: Connection Error message.
After looking in the install updates list I have noticed that KB2720211 was installed today (I believe it's part of the KB2734608 package). A quick google search on this shows that lots of people have had trouble with this update and I found many suggestions
on how to fix my busted server. Unfortunately nothing that I've tried has made any difference so far.
Here's what I've tried...
1. http://www.synetx.com/tips/?p=80
2. Changing registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup\wYukonInstalled from 1 to 0 and rerunning installer (install fails for KB2720211 or KB2734608
3. Restoring WSUSSignDb.cer WSUSSignDb.dll & WSUSSignDb.sql From Backup
Most people have had success by performing one of the above steps but this hasn't worked for me... What else can I try to do before I'm forced to restore The entire VM from a backup?
Many thanks for any suggestions
Robbie
