WSUS and SCCM

[clarkey2r]

Hi

 

I had WSUS working on its own absolutely fine, installed SCCM (with a few teething troubles) but now the WSUS clients do not report back to the sever. All the clients install the required updates/patches fine??

 

I have tried to follow the Configuring SUP guide but for some reason when I click on Update Repository nothing happens???? So trying to continue any further is pointless!

 

Any help/pointers/advice would be much appreciated!

and the user you used to setup SCCM with, is that the same user you installed WSUS with ?

 

Yes!

 

Would it be easier to start again with a second server and separate some of the services out?

Also would be good practice to start again!

its better to fix the problem you have now first that way you'll learn, there'll be plenty of opportunities to reinstall labs in the future

 

startup Active directory users and computers and make the user you are installing/configuring sccm with a domain administrator

 

this is not the way you should do it in production, but will be ok for a lab

The account is definitely a domain admin!

ok then try this

 

uninstall the SUP, then uninstall WSUS, then reinstall WSUS without configuring it at all.

 

Then reinstall the SUP and see how it goes

Right uninstalled SUP and WSUS (choose to keep logs and also all downloaded updates).

 

When I try to add the WSUS role it fails with

The update could not be found. Either the update is not applicable to this computer or the update no longer exists. Verify that the update still exists and is applicable to this computer from your WSUS server or Windows Update.

 

Below is the last few lines from the actual log...

In server manager, Roles, Add Roles, Check WSUS Role.

[anyweb]

ok you are running windows server 2008 sp2,

 

please install WSUS as i have outlined in my SUP config guide by downloading the msi instead and following all the steps

 

I have not verifed the steps in my guide with windows 2008 sp2 yet

 

as a matter of interest do you have another WSUS server setup and configured already in your environment, if you do you can check the product classifcations on that wsus server and you will see the windows server ..... wsus update is listed but not checked, that 'update' needs to be downloaded before you can add the WSUS role in server 2008

 

look at the screenshot below
