Issues with WSUS after dcpromo
If you already have a wsus on server 2003 you will probably have issues after you run a dcpromo on that box. you will notice that you cant uninstall wsus or windows internal database. To fix the issue follow the following steps:
To uninstall windows internal database you will need to do the following:
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
Edit the “InstalledInstances” value and remove “MICROSOFT##SSEE”
2) Remove the “MICROSOFT##SSEE” subkey under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
3) Remove the “MSSQL.2005″ subkey under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
4) Rename the following folder:
\%Windir%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data to \%Windir%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\Data.old
After you are done with this step, try to uninstall windows internal database, it should work.
Now that you have windows internal database uninstalled, we will need to uninstall wsus 3.0
You will need to do the following:
Go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup]
Change the value for “wYukonInstalled” from 1 to 0
After you do this you will need to uninstall wsus, this is done by clicking the same file you use to install wsus.
After you do this you should be able to install wsus 3.0
