On the SBS 2008 server, I have been trying to delete an alert for the past
30 days. I CLICK UPDATES, in UPDATES IN PROGRESS space , the alert Windows
Server Update Services 3.0 sp2 dynamic installer for server manager...in
progress continue to show as active. I believe that the system is
attempting to make a win 2008 std (domain member server) the update server
for the domain? I also believe that I am responsible for this error. I want
to delete/clear out this message from the SBS server for obvious reasons. I
have searched but I have not been successful in identfying the solution to
delete the alert. Thanks...The SBS server should be the only WSUS server in
the domain.

If you have been there and done this -Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Duncan,

Thanks for your post.

Did this issue occur just after you installed WSUS Service Pack 2? Since I have not ever seen such behavior and error message before, could you please capture and send
some error/information screenshots to me for further research? Please send to v-robmen(a)microsoft.com .

Information Need
==============
Please run the MPS report (PFE version) on the server for the analyzing. The MPS Reporting Tool is utilized to gather detailed information regarding a systems current
configuration. The data collected will assist you with fault isolation.

1. Please download MPS Reporting Tool (MPSRPT_PFE.EXE) from the following link:
(<<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=00ad0eac-720f-4441-9ef6-ea9f657b5c2f&DisplayLang=en>>)
Please note: The link may be truncated when you read the E-mail. Be sure to include all text between '(' and ')' when navigating to the download location.
2. Right click MPSRPT_PFE.EXE and select Run as Administrator to run this tool, and you will see a Command Window start up.
3. Please type Y with the message of <Include the MSINFO32 report? (defaults to Y in 15 seconds)[Y,N]?
4. When the tool is done you will see an Explorer Window opening up the %systemroot%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab folder and containing a <Computername>
MPSReports.cab file.
5. Please send the .CAB file to me at: <mailto:v-robmen(a)microsoft.com> .

Thanks for your time and efforts.

Hi Robbin,

It seems that you e'dress has/had issues. I did respond as you had asked.
Can not affirm with any certainty that the issue surfaced post WSUS SP2
install. The tool that you referenced seems to have issues with a x64 sbs
server. Errors surfaced "OSQL -sql querry tool has stopped working.. Please
advise.
Thanks,
-SD
