wasn't that report viewer required with SP1. My server didn't need it and I already had that version downloaded and installed.

It updates the db, then goes through the install wizard which kinda freaked me out for a brief moment. I thought for a second I would have to recreate groups, etc., but it kept all the settings. You need the Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2008. If it's not installed, the WSUS upgrade will continue but tell you to install it manually before using the management GUI. I *believe* the latest version is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID= 6ae0aa19-3e6c-474c-9d57-05b2347456b1 Seems to work without any issues both locally on the WSUS server and from the mmc snap-in on my workstation.

It hit my WSUS server last night, seems I could just approve the update, but that isn't even an option on that site, seems one would have to install it manually. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
