Running WSUS 3.0 with HP SIM 5.1 SP1 Domm42 5/29/2007 10:45:03 PM Hello, I am currently running WSUS 2 on the same server as HP System Insight Manager 4.2. Each one is running on a separate instance of MSDE 2000. I want to upgrade to WSUS 3.0 and HP SIM 5.1 SP1, but I want to make sure that Windows Internal Database and MSDE 2000 can co-exist on the same server without any issues before I do this. Can anyone help me out on this one? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

They can coexist; however, before we travel any further down this road, you need to clarify whether you're using =MSDE= (on Win2000) or =WMSDE= (on Win2003). If MSDE on Win2000, then you're dead in the water anyway, as WSUS v3 will not install on Windows 2000. If WMSDE on Win2003, then WSUS v3 will convert the WMSDE installation for WSUS into a Windows Internal Database installation. It will leave other application-specific instances of MSDE untouched. -- 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 .....

Re: Running WSUS 3.0 with HP SIM 5.1 SP1 Domm42 5/30/2007 1:35:01 AM Sorry for the confusion, Running Windows 2003 Server. Thank you for the quick reply. Just one more question. Is there a specific order I should be doing these updates in? I was considering uninstalling HP SIM 4.2 completely and upgrading WSUS, then performing a clean install of HP SIM 5.1 SP1. If this is the preferred method, I will do it, but I would rather be able to simply upgrade both WSUS and HPSIM if possible.

Not really. They're two completely independent operations. It's even arguable that you could do them simultaneously, but I wouldn't recommend that. :-) > I was considering uninstalling HP SIM 4.2 completely and > upgrading WSUS, then performing a clean install of HP SIM 5.1 SP1. This is a reasonable approach, but unless there's a real /need/ to uninstall the old version of HP SIM to install the new version, the uninstallation is not necessary to satisfy any needs of WSUS. When you install WSUS v3, it will automagically find your WSUS v2 database on the WMSDE engine, install the Windows Internal Database, and migrate the WSUS database from WMSDE to WID. > If this > is the preferred method, I will do it, but I would rather be able to > simply > upgrade both WSUS and HPSIM if possible. I can think of no reason why this wouldn't be a successful approach, but the variable is the HP SIM upgrade, as I know nothing about that specific upgrade process. -- 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 .....
