SBS 2008 Std. - Configuring WSUS 3.0
|
From: RV2011 on 6 Jul 2010 16:45 Setup: SBS 2008 Std, with two WinXP Pro PC's in the domain. Firewall is a SonicWall TZ-100. ISP is Windstream. We've had the server less than a month and are slowly rolling out features. Convinced the boss to let me install WSUS, but I'm confused. In a previous job I managed SBS 2003 with ISA 2004; it was quite clear what my proxy server was. However, that was the ONLY network I ever worked in as the sole admin. What's going on is that I can't detect computers from within the SBS console. I'm pretty sure I got the GPO's right for the PC's and server. I've rebooted all to force GP updates, but still nothing. Checked the server event viewer logs for Windows Update Client and saw a lot of failures to connect. Makes me think that I should configure the SonicWall as the proxy within the WSUS setup. Am I right? Or do we even have a proxy? MW

From: RV2011 on 7 Jul 2010 09:03 Shoot, screwed that one up. I'll get the 3 guides on the WSUS page at MS, read through them and see where to go from here.

From: RV2011 on 8 Jul 2010 15:13 Got it to work, sorta. Update Services still says that WSUS is not at default configuration and has shut itself off. I've triple-checked and the WSUS is at the default. I'll keep working on it, but suspect we'll have to use the WSUS admin console vice the Update Services in the SBS Mgmt Console.
