WSUS 3.0 upgrade Eric B. 7/8/2007 1:14:01 AM I did an upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 and everything looks like it went smoothly except for the fact that now all the workstations in the console have yellow triangles next to them saying that they need updates. What is the website now after the upgrade? It used to be http:\\severname but that doesn't seem to work anymore. This is what the Group Policy item points too which might be why none of the computers are getting the updates. Please help. Thank you.

That would be an indication of all of the updates that never got installed on all of those workstations under WSUS 2.0 because the updates were not set to "Detect Only", and thus never detected as needed. > What is the website now after the upgrade? There is no website. The application is now managed via MMC.

The group policy still points to the website, which contains all of the WSUS webservices.

Re: WSUS 3.0 upgrade Eric B. 7/8/2007 9:10:01 PM Thanks for the information Lawrence. How do I install these updates now on this version of WSUS with the computers that have the yellow triangle next to them?

Well... you'll need to identify which updates are "Needed" that you've not yet approved for installation. Best way to do that is to go to the "All Updates" node, and filter on "Unapproved" and "Needed", get the list of unapproved but needed updates, select ALL, and approve for ALL COMPUTERS. If you've got some computers that you do *not* want to install any updates on, make sure you set their particular groups to "Not Approved (not inherited)" before approving the update for "All Computers". Then... sit back and watch 'em update. :-) -- 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://www.microsoft.com/wsus And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....

Re: WSUS 3.0 upgrade Eric B. 7/9/2007 1:38:07 PM Thanks again Lawrence for your quick response to my question. Is there someone I can talk to about this? Certain things within this seem confusing to me as compared to the other versions? Please let me know when you get a chance. Thank you.

To be honest, Eric, there's nothing fundamentally different in the process using WSUS 3.0 than there was in the process using WSUS 2.0, except that the "Detect Only" setting for individual updates in WSUS 2.0 is now the system-wide default in WSUS 3.0. Other that that, the *processes* are identical. [a] Identified the *needed* updates [b] Ensure the *needed* updates are approved for installation. [c] Ensure the *needed* updates are installed on the destination systems. Other than that, there are several documents at http://www.microsoft.com/wsus which are Highly Recommended Reading for WSUS Administrators, including: * WSUS Overview http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=71266 * Step-by-Step: Getting Started with WSUS 3.0 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=71267 * Release Notes for WSUS 3.0 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=71268 * Deploying WSUS 3.0 (WSUS Deployment Guide) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=79983 * WSUS 3.0 Operations Guide http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=81072 -- 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://www.microsoft.com/wsus And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....

Re: WSUS 3.0 upgrade Eric B. 7/11/2007 4:02:03 PM Lawrence, I read through all these documents and they are helpful but don't totally answer all the questions that I have. Would you be able to email me so that I can ask you some stuff? My email is EBlonder[ at ]newmarkkf.com. Thanks.
