How to move WSUS to a new server?

[nehal_serpa]

I want to know a way on how to move WSUS to a new server and withdraw the use of the old one? I am not able to find any information for this thing? Can anybody let me know how to achieve it? Thanks.

All you need to do is just install a fresh copy of WSUS on the new server and point the client computers at the new server. You can also try to uninstall from the old server afterwards.

Thanks for the reply, could you also let me know what about all the approvals that I have already made, are they going to stay or not? Thanks

The best option out there would be to use the NTBACKUP, which might be documented in the Deployment Guide. Check out more information here - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...o-another.aspx
