I have run into a real issue with reinstalling WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Windows 2008 R2 after I had successfully applied KB 2734608. (I had to uninstall/reinstall WSUS because of broken functionality in the WSUS web site - BTAT).
Everything re-installed successfully up to the very end when I got the error message that the FixSubscriptionCategories function failed. If I detach the existing database and allow the installer to create a new database, then it finishes just fine. (But
then I have to re-apply KB2734608, which I would have done anyway.) And all of the data from the old installation is lost - not a great thing.
It seems this problem is due to database schema changes introduced in the hotfix. Sound right?If so, what can be done about it?
Is there a way to slipstream that patch into the installer so that this issue doesn't happen, and you can re-use the old database?
Thanks for your help.
