    Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    Hi,

    Got this error msg when after reinstalling WSUS 3.0, not sure where the problem lies, IIS or WSUS installation. Your kind advise is most appreciated.

    The WSUS administration console has encountered an unexpected error. This may be a transient error; try restarting the administration console. If this error persists,

    Try removing the persisted preferences for the console by deleting the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    Hi

    Tried that, but it still doesn't work. Though i can launch the MMC console, but when i try to connect to WSUS server it still fails. The error message indicates that it cannot connect to the server and states that the server could be using another port of different SSL setting.

    Even though during the installation, i have indicate the use port 80 and default web site on the IIS.

    Comments?

    Are the remote workstation and the WSUS Server in the same Active Directory domain?

    Is the logged on account of the remote workstation a member of the WSUS Administrators local group on the WSUS Server, or a member of the local Administrators group on the WSUS Server, or a member of the Domain Admins group?

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    Hockson,

    The remote station and server is on the same domain.

    On the server's local users and group accounts. server administrator and domain administrator are added into the "\server\administrators" & "\server\wsus administrators" group.

    I've run "wsusutil.exe checkhealth" on the server, i noticed that there are some errors under the event viewer. See below

    Source: Windows Server Update, Category: Web services and Event ID: 12002 The Reporting Web service is not working.

    Source: Windows Server Update, Category: Web services and Event ID: 12012 The API Remoting Web Service is not working.

    Source: Windows Server Update, Category: Web services and Event ID: 12032 The Server Synchronization Web Service is not working.

    Source: Windows Server Update, Category: Web services and Event ID: 12022 The Client Web service is not working.

    Source: Windows Server Update, Category: Web services and Event ID: 12052 The DSS Authentication Web service is not working.

    Apart from this 5 errors, there are also error under ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0 Source, in the category of Web event.

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    Great!... but this doesn't answer my question. I *assumed* that the server and domain administrator accounts were properly populated, or you wouldn't be able to access the console from even the WSUS Server itself.

    This is an indication that either WSUS Server Setup is looking at the wrong URL to verify these services, or the permissions are incorrect on the virtual server and/or virtual directories indicated.[color=blue]


    Incorrect permissions on the API Remoteing Web Service would also impact your ability to access the remote admin console.


    A LOT of errors across a LOT of different subsystems.

    What's the rest of the story about this server???

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    The account on the remote workstation belongs to a domain admins group acct. The account on which was logged onto the server is the domain admin acct. Both these accounts belong to the server local WSUS administrators and also members of local admins group as well.

    The server was working fine and until recently when the MMC console had problem trying to connect to the server. Which i've tried to reinstall the WSUS server to attempt to rectify the problem. Unfortunately it does not seems to be so.

    If the permission is incorrect, which part i should be looking at permission on the WSUS folder in the Programs folder or the permission of the web directories under the IIS.

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    Similar problem. Have deleted the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.
    Full (potted) history.
    Server on a domain. Under domainadmin account, installed WSUS SP1. Used for several months.
    Updated to SP2. Everything fine.
    Then had to install AD on the server.
    Now unable to connect to the update service running on the server. Attempted to uninstall - "Unable to unistall because an error occured". domainadmin account added to WSUS administrators and Reporters - still the same. DNS running on same server.
    Appreciate that is is a permissions / security problem, but where ?

    Many thanks in advance

    Further information . From the application event log :-

    and from the system log
    A process serving application pool 'WsusPool' terminated unexpectedly. The process id was '4452'. The process exit code was '0xc0000005'.

    Re: Unable to connect to WSUS 3.0 via MMC console

    It's been a long-known fact and well documented that you cannot run dcpromo on a machine with IIS installed.

    The simple solution is to uninstall WSUS, uninstall IIS, reinstall IIS, reinstall WSUS.
