WSUS2.0 not synchronizing Rob 6/16/2007 3:20:02 PM I have on a Win2k3server w/sp2 running sql2005, the WSUS 2.0 version. The server lists on the To Do List the following error: Check your server configuration - One or more Update Service components could not be contacted. Check your server status and ensure that the Windows Server Update Service is running. Non-running services: SelfUpdate. If I go into computer management and check the Update Services, it is Started. If I restart it, the error in the To Do List of WSUS goes away for 5 minutes, then returns. As well, WSUS will not synch. I have the upstream server ip correct and can ping it. Any help? Oh and I have reinstalled several times already.

And the WSUS "Update Services" which is an actual service. What does WSUS mean by "Selfupdate service not running"? http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com/articles/020.htm -- 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 .....
