WSUS2 (Old Server) - WSUS3 (New Server) d_man 5/24/2007 1:04:02 PM I've got a new WSUS3 box. I migrated the target groups and the updates from the old server to the new server. The only issue I have is the approvals. I get this error when trying to run wsusmigrationimport. C:\Program Files\Update Services 3.0 API Samples and Tools\WsusMigrate\WsusMigrationImport>wsusmigrationimport ..exe d:\wsusbackup\wsus-20070523.xml Approvals None WsusMigration failed with the below exception! System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list. at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args) at System.IO.TextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2) at System.IO.TextWriter.SyncTextWriter.WriteLine(String format, Object arg0, Object arg1, Object arg2) at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.ImportServerStatus.ProcessNode(XmlTextReader reader) at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.ImportServerStatus.ImportData(XmlTextReader reader) at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.WsusMigrationTool.Main(String[] args) Anyone run across this problem when trying to import approvals? -d

RE: WSUS2 (Old Server) - WSUS3 (New Server) d_man 5/24/2007 5:40:01 PM Looks like I found the answer to my own question. I'm sure a lot of you out there may be trying the same thing. Note: Importing from a WSUS 2.0 server to a WSUS 3.0 server (or from a WSUS 3.0 server to a WSUS 2.0 server) is not supported. it's on this page about 3/4 the way down. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserve...3.mspx?mfr=true Sorry for the friv post. Disappointed. Who'd a though someone would want to build a fresh server and move all the updates and approvals over. -d

Be attention that first import groups and set up same languanges.

Re: WSUS2 (Old Server) - WSUS3 (New Server) d_man 5/25/2007 12:46:00 PM That first import works great. The target groups are imported without issue, it's the approvals that's not working. The settings are the same on both boxes. I've followed the directions from the readme verbatim. I'm stuck.

This is the error in the end: WsusMigration failed with the below exception! System.InvalidOperationException: Deleting this type of Deployment is not allowed. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Deleting this type of Deployment is not allowed. at Microsoft.UpdateServices.DatabaseAccess.DBConnection.DrainObsoleteConnections(SqlException e) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.DatabaseAccess.DBConnection.ExecuteCommandNoResult() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.NoResultSPHandler.ExecuteStoredProcedure(DBConnection connection) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSP(String spName, DBParameterCollection args, IExecuteSPHandler handler, Int32 queryTimeoutInSeconds) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSP(String spName, DBParameterCollection args, IExecuteSPHandler handler) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DataAccess.ExecuteSPNoResult(String spName, DBParameterCollection args) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccess.ExecuteSPDeleteDeployment(Guid id) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccess.ExecuteSPDeleteDeployment(Guid id) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateApproval.Delete() at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.ImportServerStatus.ProcessEndElement(XmlTextReader reader) at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.ImportServerStatus.ImportData(XmlTextReader reader) at Microsoft.WsusMigrationTools.WsusMigrationTool.Main(String[] args) Now we've tried to pin down which update this could be but we're very much at a loss here. Any directions on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
