WSUS 3 on W2K8 RODC.. Rita Clegg 11/24/2008 11:31:02 PM Does anybody know if WSUS 3/IIS will be supported on a Windows 2008 RODC? I have 6 remote locations that require a remote WSUS server because of bandwidth issues. The first of the 6 locations is scheduled for an upgrade in March of 2009 and we are looking at installing an RODC in this location. I'm working on our upgrade plan so was wondering the feasibility of combining RODC and WSUS. Thank you.

The failure message was not very helpful. Then after installing on a DC I saw the groups that were automatically created. Create on a writable DC the groups "SQLServer2005MSFTEUser$Servername$Microsoft##SSEE" and "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$Servername$Microsoft##SSEE" Insert your servername where it says servername. Once I had these groups created the install worked. Make sure you have the pre-reqs for IIS 7.0 on server2008. Also need to install Report Viewer. Good luck.

I'd forgotten that the WID needs to create "local" groups and on a DC it's going to try to create those as Domain Groups if they don't already exist. >Create on a writable DC the groups >"SQLServer2005MSFTEUser$Servername$Microsoft##SSEE" >and "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$Servername$Microsoft##SSEE" >Insert your servername where it says servername. >Once I had these groups created the install worked. Excellent note. This issue probably warrants a KB article. I'll bounce the note up to the WSUS team and see if I can get a KB article in the works. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Lawrence.Garvin
