Windows 2003 Server Service Pack# 1 Known Issues with SUS!!!
Hello Folks,
I just installed Windows 2003 Server Service Pack# 1 and there are some issues with SP1 Vs Software Update Services, SUS.
1. When you hit windowsupdate icon from Start Menu, you are redirected to
http://ws03sp1.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/default.aspx?ln=en-us
instead of Windowsupdate.com and update doesnt work. Sometimes you are then redirected to http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us
I get a feeling that SP1 is designed to support V6 of Windowsupdate which is in BETA. More on http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/betathanks.htm?
2. Posted on microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs: After installing SP1 we're getting the following warning.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1004
User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Description:
Detection of product '{AFF0D9D3-6F0D-437E-9327-98108B4A8644}',
feature 'WU', component '{D31B2119-C240-4F8B-B13C-20EF38B2E070}'
failed. The resource 'Y:\Applications\SUS\wusync\WUSyncSvc.exe' does not exist.
Suggestions:
Try granting the NETWORK SERVICE permissions to read and execute on WUSyncSvc.exe.
You can "fix" it by granting access permissions to the \inetpub\wwwroot\autoupdate\administration directory, as well as the \sus\wusync directory.
There might be some other issues too. If you see any such issues, then let Microsoft know at microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
Good day,
