My above issue was resolved today with the assitance of Fei from Microsoft. It masked itself as a permissions issue. As soon as I gave Authenitcated Users full control of the drive where the WSUS install wanted to do the db backup (by default this is the drive with most free space) the upgrade from 3.0 RC to 3.0 RTM went smooth as glass. The final cause of my issue was described by Microsoft as this: "The wYukon (the db instance you used) sql service runs as network service. And the authenticated user group in your machine for which network service role belongs to somehow doesn't have full permission to the backup folder. " Just to clarify, I was not using SQL Server 2005, but the Windows Internal Database, which as I understand it is also know as SQL Server Express 2005 (the replacement to MSDE)Anonymous

This is great news! Is there any documentation of what was changed from RC to RTM for those of us running RC so we can take a look, or was RC feature complete? :)Anonymous

Not a real big deal, but the "uninstall" of WSUS 2.0 doesn't remove the WSUS Administration Website from IIS. "By design"?Anonymous

Does WSUS 3.0 contain WUA (Windows Update Agent) 3.0? I've read that I need version 3.0 of the agent/client to go with the svchost hotfix to completely solve the bug, as the hotfix alone doesn't work (yeah good one MS, how much time of mine have you wasted with your faulty fixes and buggy update client).Anonymous

I noticed that it's possible to have replica servers get their content from either the upstream server or from Microsoft Update. Does this mean I can configure my branch office WSUS 3.0 server to get its metadata and administration from the upstream server, but download the large amounts of data directly from Microsoft? Basically, I don't want to transfer anything but the metadata and reporting data over my WAN link, and I want the branch's WSUS server itself (not the individual clients) to get the updates from Microsoft. Is this possible? If so, how? The only related information I can find in the documentation says that I can have the WSUS clients at my branch download direct from Microsoft. That doesn't really help me bandwidth-wise, because I'd rather have the branch's server just download once from the Internet and get managed by the upstream server at our headquarters.Anonymous

I checked to see if I had KB927891 (the additional update needed besides WSUS 3.0 when it is released) to fix this svchost issue, and my WSUS server does not. I went and checked the "updates" option to download just regular Microsoft "updates" that are not security related issues (since KB927891 says it is a reliability issue) and re-synchornized my WSUS server with MS and STILL did not get this update. Anyone know why this update, which is dated 5/7/2007, is not available to be pushed out through WSUS yet?Anonymous

So far what I have used is Great but there is 2 things i would really like to see added One. I would like to see the option for WOL, wake on lan, if the system is off Two. Under the computers pages i would like to see an option to add a column for computer make and computer model. This would allow me to search by computer modelAnonymous

I find it very inefficient to use the new interface in WSUS 3.0. There is no way to copy and paste information about patch names or WS as there was in 2.0. I use to copy and paste a record of each approved patch into my workorder so I could track what updates were approved, set to detect, declined, etc - that is no longer possible in 3.0. Another example is reporting, I have a failed WSUS install on 6 computers. In ver 2.0 I would just expand the WSUS patch info, highlight the names of the computers with failed installs and copy to my workorder for processing. Now I need to run a report, then export the report to Excel or pdf (why no clipboard or notepad file export option?) and then open that output to do a copy/paste into a Workorder. Copy/Paste is a huge benefit in using Windows and WSUS 3.0 kills that feature.Anonymous
