# re: How do I move the SUS content from one drive to other drive locally?

This is definitely not working. What I tried to make sure it's working, I renamed the old SUS content, but then I cannot even access the Susadmin site. When I restart IIS, I can access it, but then nothing is working. The error message Page cannot be displayed.
When I look into the register, I see a bunch of values pointing to d:\sus\content (old location), also under HKLM\System\Controlset002\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Virtual Roots.
I've set everything back to its old location. If can you provide me a solution that's working, please email me to: hrsmal@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Ron

# re: WSUS OEP News Groups

All of the computers in my organization have recently contacted the WSUS server.
All of them, however, have a last status report over 3 days. All of the reg
settings, GPOs, and WSUS files (installer 3.1, BITS 2.0, etc.) are current.
Since the computers have not reported their status to WSUS, WSUS cannot proceed with installing updates. The computer itself has progress with installing software, but it isn't reported on the WSUS server. How is it possible that the clients can contact the WSUS server hours ago, but cannot provide the WSUS server their last status report?

# re: How do I Install SUS on a Server that is also running other IIS Enabled Applications like SharePoint?

Helpful article, but for those of us that are not familiar with SharePoint-- using Share Point Central Administrator, where do we go to configure exceptions for those files and directories?
Saturday, July 02, 2005 6:15 PM by Mohammed Athif Khaleel

# re: How do I Install SUS on a Server that is also running other IIS Enabled Applications like SharePoint?

To do so, follow these steps:
a. On the server that is running SUS Server and Windows SharePoint Services, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration.
b. In the Virtual Server Configuration area, click Configure virtual server settings.
c. On the Virtual Server List tab, click the virtual server that you have to add the excluded paths to.
d. Under Virtual Server Management, click Define Managed Paths.
e. In the Add a New Path section, type the path to exclude in the Path box.
f. Click Excluded Path, and then click OK.
g. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each folder that you want to exclude.

Just uninstall Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)- it'll give you the option to uninstall the database and the update files.

# re: Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) "Restart Later" button grayed out

I have say that the decision to not allow users to "Restart Later" with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) was a big mistake. It made some sense in Software Update Services because once the button had been clicked then the dialog didn't come back. But with the re-prompt in WSUS it makes SO much sense to allow users to choose to restart later if they wish, knowing that they should get bored of getting prompted eventually. The workaround of elevating them is a lousy one, because it also gives them the option to decline updates. The most amazing thing is that I constantly hear that this behaviour was put in place because users shouldn't be given a choice about installing updates. Yet the workaround gives them to rights to decline updates, which is far worse. And we've found that since users can't click the "Later" button that they simply drag the dialog off screen. So that hasn't really helped at all, has it? Come on, give us the choice to enable this - seems that we should at least be free to choose for ourselves what our users should be able to do.

Hi,

This worked for me. What exactly does the SQL script do? If you don't mind explaining it to a newbie in this arena...

# re: WSUS: SelfUpdate Tree is not working

great work. ever since i had installed exchange 2k3 sp2, this has been an issue. the 'update services' service would stop after only a minute or so. the cause is that exchange sp2 reset the permissions on the website on port 80 (OWA) so I had to reset the perms to get OWA working again. once I reset the perms on the selfupdate virtual folder, the service stays running now! woohoo!!
thanks everyone

# re: WSUS: SelfUpdate Tree is not working

Nice post, one of many that actually addresses the issue properly.

I think it's insane though that you have to have WSUS listening on port 80. I installed WSUS in its own site as I've locked down my default website. Now I have to have something listening on both my internal and external IP's on port 80.

I have had to only allow a certain range of IP's to access the virtual directory.

Works very well for me:
