WSUS =2= is *unsupported* on 64-bit platforms. You need to install WSUS =3=. In addition, you may encounter issues installing WSUS 3 on SQL 2005 =SP2= systems. If so, my suggestion would be to uninstall SQL SP2, install WSUS 3, reapply SQL SP2. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
