WSUSSetup.exe CONSOLE_INSTALL=1
WSUS has this great feature which can be used to manage your WSUS server from a Windows XP or Vista machine.
WSUS3 comes up with this new concept of *console only* install.
If you want to use this feature, you need to specify "CONSOLE_INSTALL=1" parameter while running the wsussetup.
Note that the option to choose console only install is not available in the UI wizard of wsussetup.
So you will need to type "WSUSSetup.exe CONSOLE_INSTALL=1" in a command window.
Also note there are no forward slashes or any other funny characters in this command.
When you specify "console_install=1", minimal set of WSUS server bits are installed on your machine to allow a remote WSUS server to be administered from this machine. This includes UI and few API binaries.
Following is a list of prereqs and platforms.
Following pre-requisites are required on the machine.
· MMC 3.0
· Report Viewer (if you wanna view the reports)
You can have the console only install on following platforms.
· Windows XP SP2
· Windows Vista Beta2
· Windows Server 2003 SP1
Have fun with WSUS3 B2 !!
Chinmay Parekh(WSUS).
stop press:
The setup files which beta2 users can download from connect site are named WSUSSetup-x86.exe and WSUSSetup-x64.exe. In the above blog, whenever I mention WSUSSetup.exe, I mean WSUSSetup-x86.exe or WSUSSetup-x64.exe based on the architecture you want to install WSUS on.

i think the XP SP2 MUST BE in the WSUS SERVER same domain if you want to succeed connecting the console to the wsus server.
Is there a way for inserting in the WSUS SERVER Admin group a user from another domain ?
Because all 3000 xp are in another domain.Anonymous

Hi Ricardoz,
You said: "cannot manage the WSUS sever "
Can you please describe it in detail?
Did your console only install went fine?
Can you connect to remote wsus server?
Is there any error message you see in the UI?
thanksAnonymous

We are eagerly anticipating feedback from our beta2 users, and will be glad to hear your suggestions. What you liked/disliked and make changes accordingly. That is the purpose of this beta :)

I too have been unable to get this to work. The install went fine and I can open the MMC console with the WSUS plug-in, but I cannot connect to the WSUS Server. I have the WSUS server running in a VM and the MMC is on the host machine. When I try to connect it just says 'Cannot connect to <server name>. The server may be using a different port or different SSL setting.'
I have tried connecting by name and by IP address with and without SSL. I turned off the firewall on the host. Nothing helps.Anonymous

Peter,
Can you connect to the WSUS server from the console on your VM?
[If "NO" then please follow these steps...]
<steps>
Which OS is running on your VM?
Do you see any suspicious entries in the eventviewer of VM?
Can you check if the IIS on the VM is not in "isolation mode".
Are you a member of wsus3 beta2 newsgroup at
microsoft.beta.windows_server.wsusv3pub.general
Do you mind posting the softwareDistribution.log from program filesUpdate Serviceslogfiles
Other tips:
(1) Try resetting the IIS on WSUS Server.
(2) Try resetting the SQL Service.
</steps>
[If "Yes", let us know :)]
thanks.Anonymous

Hi,
Besides remote management on MMC 3.0, does WSUS 3.0 Beta2 have Web Management Console without installing WSUS Console on other remote machine?Anonymous

Aaron, no. We do not have web UI.Anonymous

Hi i implement WSUS 3.0 with remote console is very good play with this software, is very productiveAnonymous

I am very disappointed to find the WSUSAdmin is missing from WSUS 3.0 I know you can configure MMC for remote admin but that means another app running. I could administer all my machines from a browser before this including WSUS 2.0 Was it dropped due to popular demand? I doubt it! Was it dropped to make things more complicated? I cannot see any other reason.Anonymous
