Hi all-
Okay, here's the background. We were running WSUS 2.0 for quite a while.
About a month ago I installed WSUS 3.0. This is on a SBS 2003 machine BTW.
During the install all went smoothly. It uninstalled 2.0, installed 3.0, and
everything came up and kept right on going.
I used the Admin console on the server, and on my local workstation many
times over the month, no problems. However, starting last Friday, I could no
longer get in, from either the server's MMC console, or the MMC on my
workstation. In both places I get the following error: "Cannot connect to
'SERVERNAME'. You do not have the permissions required to access this WSUS
server." There have been NO changes in software or config to the server
since WSUS was installed (besides and automatic updates).
First thing I tried was the service restart, then resetiis, then a server
reboot. After that I assumed it wasn't something "stuck." So, I figured I
would cut to the chase and uninstalled WSUS leaving the updates and database
(SQL 2005) intact. Uninstall finished, rebooted again. Ran the installer,
port 8530, local SQL, found the existing DB, etc etc. When the installer
completed, it tried to start the admin wizard. It couldn't launch due to an
error (which I did not write down). I clicked OK, and then tried the console
again. Same error: "Cannot connect to 'SERVERNAME'. You do not have the
permissions required to access this WSUS server." Did the process one more
time, but after the uninstall, I made sure the \Program Files\Update Services
folder was completely gone. Same problem. I am logged into the server as a
domain admin, and I even made sure the Administratrator account was directly
set as a member of the WSUS Administrators group.
The sytem is still working in the background. Security updates are still
being auto-approved, and still being sent to clients, all the clients are
still updating like normal.
I don't have a clue where to go from here. I've searched this group, and
even googled, and haven't found my problem elsewhere.
Thanks for any help!
