WSUS3 upgrade from WSUS v2? IraW 5/10/2007 7:40:00 PM Reviewed WSUSUTIL options and documentation. It appears the only upgrade option is "in place" on the existing WSUS v2 box. We were hoping to migrate approvals from the old system to a fresh box built with WSUS v3 RTM. Any pointers would be appreciated. --Ira -- Senior Server Admin MCSE 2003

The simplest way wold be to 'migrate' the WSUS2 from the old box to the new box, and then upgrade "in place" on the new box. More complex ways depend on the specific migration scenario you have in mind. For example: [a] Old OS vs New OS. [b] Old database service vs New database service [c] Same configuration vs New configuration Perhaps the most complex scenario will involve migration from Win2000/IIS5/MSDE/WSUS2 to Win2003SP1/IIS6/WID/WSUS3. -- 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 .....
