Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this thread, but I'm having some trouble installing Windows Server Update Services on my Window Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 machine.
I've downloaded what I believe to be the correct version from the WSUS section on Microsoft's website, and I run through the install screens (about where to install it, the SQL stuff, inheriting settings from other WSUS servers etc) and it starts installing, but whilst it's in the process of 'Installing Microsoft Windows Server Update Services', it dumps this error:
So I hit ok, and typically rolls back the entire installation and gives me this:
Well the first of the two logs it produced was over 8 megabytes in size so I'll only post the last few lines:
The second log, thankfully, was only 1 kilobyte in size. It contained this text:
A brief Google search of the error didn't really help, there were a few posts on the Microsoft forums by people with the same problems but they haven't posted and technical specifications and no solution has apprently be found yet.
I'm running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 and Internet Information Services 6. If you need me to post any more info, please say.
Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
