WSUS 3.0 Cleanup Wizard Crashes Matthew Hill 6/13/2007 10:33:01 AM I have installed WSUS 3 on many of the servers I manage but on a couple of them the Cleanup Wizard crashes out (or maybe its the MMC) with Unexpected Error or Unknown Error. The MMC stays open. Once I can get back into the two sites I will get the error message out of the Application log. I have tried re-installing WSUS, MMC and update files but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I've experienced a similar issue on an underpowered server, and I'm exploring the possibility that it could be caused by an extremely short timeout between the MMC and the database server being tripped by a less-than-optimal response from the database server. -- 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 .....
