pbalderos Posted August 6, 2013 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 I am trying to figure out how to remedy a bunch of expired Microsoft updates (1,000+) that Is showing up in my SCCM console after I ran my first sync once WSUS and SUP was installed. Below are the steps take so far: Removed SUP role from my site server (SCCM) Removed WSUS from Server 2012 Restarted server Reinstalled WSUS (I noticed that the 2 previous synchronizations I performed from the WSUS console on the server was still there as if I never deleted WSUS.) Reinstalled SUP on the site server (SCCM). This time from the product list I only selected Security updates as opposed to: Security, Critical, and just plain old updates, which is why I think I have over 1,000 expired updates Also I elected to delete the expired updates as soon as they are superseded. I then let the synced the updates from the SCCM and let it run over night. I went to check the All updates section under application management node and there are about 648 new none-expired updates but the old expired updates are still there (over 1,000) I did notice also that the previous syncs that I performed on the WSUS console are still there even after I removed the WSUS role Hmmm, scratching my head.

Eswar Koneti Posted August 7, 2013 Report post Posted August 7, 2013 are they really expired updates or something went wrong with them ? can you check update Released update ? if they are old and expired,no need to worry about them,but if you still need to remove them from DB,you can try the query which i posted in earlier for you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Eswar, I think I will remove SUP and also follow these steps to remove the database. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f447e7d6-7007-4eb6-b38b-90f92525e092/how-to-uninstall-wsus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
