I just updated our WSUS from 2 to 3 and it's not seeing the log file to tell it what's been updated already. I did a backup of WSUS before and restore after the update. Is there a way to tell it where to look for them? I have the updates stored on a different drive than WSUS is installed on...

noveyron, I have followed the instructions for backing up and uninstalling WSUS. Then ran the reinstall with the external hard drive disconnected. This time the Configuration Wizard did come up and I canceled it per the instructions. I still get the message in my first post in the Server...

noveyron, I did pretty much what the instructions said at the first link except for disconnecting the external hard drive. I either need to find out how to start the service, or more likely uninstall it and start again without the external hard drive plugged in. It that's the problem it's...

After installing the update from WSUS 2.0 to 3.0 SP1 WSUS doesn't start on booting up. After booting the server I get the message in the computer management window for WSUS: Windows Small Business Server (Windows SBS) Update Services is not running because it automatically turns off if you...

We aren't using OWA or RWW. I did have it set so the port was open and I could. So I tried closing it yesterday. The memory usage dropped a little. Still at 280MB. We had threee memory alerts this morning early. Nothing seems unusual from yesterday though. I would like to try installing...

I am going to try your batch file when I am not so busy with other work. We have only had two alerts since yesterday morning. the sqlservr.exe is hanging around 280MB. Not a problem there. But another process, w3wp.exe has jumped up to about 283MB. I am wondering if that might be the...

I had not heard of SBS Premium. We are not running it. sqlservr.exe seems to be behaving so far today. It was at 176MB when I got in to work. It's up a little to 280MB now. Still above where I set the maximum yesterday. There must be something simple I am missing here. Maybe it's not...

I am getting the Allocated Memory Alert on our SBS 2003 server. The server is all up to date on updates except for the WSUS which I have just put off. We have 2GB of ram. The service that is causing the alerts is the sqlservr.exe. I've been through all of the links at...

Thanks Dave, What you said has worked. The file is much smaller this morning. 321,088 KB. The next biggest file is the SUSDB.mdf. I don't suppose there's anything I can do about that one. It must be the database I'm guessing. it is just over 3 GB. I think at this point everything is...

Dave, or anyone, I just tried the command again and I think it might have worked. Now at the end of the line I get: usage: osql, and then the list of command variables. Now I still need to shrink the ldf file right? Jim

Dave, I tried your solution of changing to Simple Recovery mode and after typing in the command at the command line I get the message: [DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied. [DBNETLIB]ConnetionOpen <Connect<>>. My templog is now at just under 10GB and free space is less than...

Dave, Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried your solution yet. I have moved the update files from our C drive to our E drive to free up some space. Now there is an error message: Content file download failed. Reason: Error calling...

Running Windows SBS 2003. Our WSUS templog.ldf file has grown to 5.6GB. I have the C drive at 20GB and we are running short on space. How do you reduce the size of it? I've Googled it and there seem to be various ways in WSUS, but is there a specific way to do it in SBS?

This morning one of the latest updates, Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB946609), is giving me a message when I select to see details and approve. The message is: Microsoft .NET Framework Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application...

I tried pinging it today and no response. It timed out. It might be time to just share it from one of the clients. We won't be using it that much. Thanks,
