Upgrade from WSUS 2.0 Stefano Olzai 7/7/2007 11:58:01 AM Hi, in our organization we have a master WSUS 2.0 and several replica servers acting as slaves for various regions. By reading the official documentation for WSUS 3.0 I cannot find much info regarding an upgrade procedure for a similar scenario. What path do you suggest I take in order to upgrade to WSUS 3.0 in this specific situation? Thanks in advance

First upgrade the Master WSUS with Version 3.0, after complete upgrade you /can/ upgrade the other WSUS 2.0 Servers, but you don't must.

WSUS 3.0 cannot sync from a WSUS 2.0 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://www.microsoft.com/wsus And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
