New install problem "Milos Puchta" <puchta[ at ]fel.cvut.cz> 10/5/2008 7:18:42 AM Hi I have removed old server with WSUS 3 and installed new one with the same name. Then I installed WSUS 3 SP1 on new server. I have mentioned that there was communication among clients and server on port 8350, but the list of clients on WSUS server has not been populated with client's names. I let all GPO the same as in the previous installation which is client "oriented" and for two groups Any idea how to make the WSUS work as expected? Regards Milos

Re: New install problem DaveMills <DaveMills[ at ]newsgroup.nospam> 10/5/2008 8:23:32 AM Is the new server able to update the IP in DNS? If you use MS DNS server in secure mode when you build a new server it gets a new SID and often a different IP. DNS will not let it update the name because the previous DNS record is owned by the old server.

Re: New install problem "Milos Puchta" <puchta[ at ]fel.cvut.cz> 10/5/2008 2:47:46 PM Before I have joined this server to the Active Domain, I had rename the old one and changed its address, in the hope that this would suffice to do... TIA Regards Milos

The first thing to check here is the single most common issue with systems after SP1 has been applied... SP1 has a nasty habit of failing to restore the /selfupdate virtual directory. Please verify that both the Default Web Site and the WSUS Administration website have virtual directories named 'selfupdate'. If not, you should recreate them, point their pathnames to C:\Program Files\Update Services\selfupdate, and then enable Anonymous Access. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Senior Data Architect, APQC, 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
