Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 server from MMC Console "JS" <jsap[ at ]excite.com> 6/29/2007 8:43:22 PM The server and the computer where the admin console (mmc) is installed are not on a domain. Each time I tried to connect to the wsus server I receive "Cannot connect to "server name or ip address". The server may be using another port or different secure sockets layer setting." I have tried it from multiple computers with the same result. I do have one computer that I am able to connect to wsus server but I can't get it to work on another computer. Any ideas? thanks

Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 server from MMC Console "tin" <mastertin[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 6/29/2007 11:23:28 PM I have the same issue too but not able to find any help on this anywhere. I have SelfSSL installed to IIS on the WSUS server. I did export/import the of the CA cert to my remote local system and tested that the SSL is fine by going to the sus server using https://sus.domain.com . The sus and my remote station has no firewall setup. I do see http & https being listened on the sus server using tcpview. Please let me know if you need me anything else from me to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks, TC "JS" <jsap[ at ]excite.com> wrote in message news:O2wJl4ouHHA.668[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Hmmm... from page 44 of the WSUS Deployment Guide: Install the WSUS 3.0 Administration Console After installing WSUS 3.0 on a server, you can manage WSUS 3.0 from any computer on your network, as long as the domain of that computer has a trust relationship with the domain of the 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 .....

Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 server from MMC Console Wade Godfrey <wade[ at ]lcsd.logan.k12.ut.us> 7/2/2007 7:08:04 PM There is a workaround for this. You need to have an identical user account/password on the WSUS server as on the computer where you trying to run the MMC remotely. tin wrote: [Quoted Text] > is it not possible to access the WSUS server from a computer that is not > joined or trusted by the domain of which WSUS is in? > > Thanks, > TC > > "Lawrence Garvin (MVP)" <onsitech[ at ]community.nospam> wrote in message > news:%23C86WbruHHA.1212[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> "JS" <jsap[ at ]excite.com> wrote in message >> news:O2wJl4ouHHA.668[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >>> The server and the computer where the admin console (mmc) is installed >>> are not on a domain.
