Can WSUS 3.0 use a WSUS v2 upstream? nlldavies 12/3/2008 3:52:01 PM In an environment with 2 WSUS servers (two differnet sites). The main WSUS server is WSUS v2 and the new server is WSUS v3. I want the second WSUS server to obtain downloads and sync settings from the main server (WSUS v2) which is the upstream server. Will this work? I don't seem to be getting any syncronisation when I set it up. Any help would be appreciated. Rgds N

As noted in the Release Notes and the Deployment Guide, WSUS 3 servers cannot synchronize from a WSUS 2 server, you must first upgrade your master server before implementing any downstream WSUS 3 server. -- 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
