From: Mrecomm101 on 17 May 2010 23:08 I was trying to install Windows Update Services 3.0 SP2 and my server shutdown unexpectedly. Then, when I tried to uninstall, it failed. Now I can neither update or uninstall. Does anyone know how to manually uninstall WSUS 3.0 SP1 and 2?
From: Cliff Galiher - MVP on 17 May 2010 23:27 What errors are you seeing? If the server "shut down" then the uninstall should've been rolled back. If, however, the server unexpected lost power or blue-screened without a proper shutdown, you probably have larger issues and the WSUS issues are just a symptom. Knowing what is happening in detail would be beneficial in determing what is happening. -Cliff "Mrecomm101" <Mrecomm101(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FDF2EB91-1CF7-4FFD-88F0-F277C6AD41CA(a)microsoft.com... > I was trying to install Windows Update Services 3.0 SP2 and my server > shutdown unexpectedly.

From: Larry Struckmeyer[SBS-MVP] on 18 May 2010 07:04 Agreeing with Cliff. How are your backups. Restoring "yesterday" is probably/may be the quickest way out of this. - Larry Please post the resolution to your issue so others may benefit - Get Your SBS Health Check at www.sbsbpa.com > What errors are you seeing?

Hello, Thanks for your post. Like Cliff and Larry indicated, we may need further more information such as Event logs or error messages when you install/uninstall WSUS 3.0. If you don't have any previous good backup to restore, you may try to download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). Then remove the WSUS 3.0 item from the list of Installed Products. Hope this helps. Best regards, Robbin Meng(MSFT) Microsoft Online Newsgroup Support |
