You need to change the SQL Server service account (or the Windows Internals database service account) to "LocalSystem"
That is the #1 problem with WSUS v3 breaking after you dcpromo an existing WSUS server. For the second error - just google. You just need to reset some permissions for Network Service. Cheers Ken From: James Kerr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 12 July 2008 5:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: WSUS Problem after dcpromo I promoted a stand alone server that happend to also be our WSUS server yesterday and something blew up. I cannot access the WSUS console and computers trying to connect to it are being denied. I pasted the errors I am seeing in the logs. The first two are related to starting the console and WSUS and the other is from computers connecting to it for updates. Looks like a permissions issue but has anyone on this list had this happen to them before? I am going to start looking into more details now.
