My WSUS breaked after installing KB3148812. I did some repair actions but couldn't get it run again. Then I read about KB3159706 and installed this fix. I also followed the additional manual installation steps (wsusutil postinstall /servicing etc.) but without any success.
At the end I completely removed the WSUS installation, KB3148812, double checked to remove all of remaining registry settings, files in %programfiles% and the content directory and KB3159706, too.
The I did a fresh install of KB3159706. After that a fresh install of WSUS:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices -IncludeManagementTools
did the postinstall task
wsusutil.exe postinstall CONTENT_DIR=D:\Updates
Checked, if "HTTP activation" is installed and the part with web-config is correct.
Then I did according to the manual steps
wsusutil.exe postinstall /servicing
Log file is located at ...\tmpDF06.tmp
Post install is starting
Post install has successfully completed
But when I start the console I couldn't connect to the MS-Content servers.
I checked the logfile from servicing part (tmpDF06.tmp) and found this:
2016-05-10 18:52:12 Install type is: Reinstall 2016-05-10 18:52:12 Install type is Reinstall, but should be Upgrade. Cannot service the database 2016-05-10 18:52:12 Swtching DB to multi-user mode......
Is that okay or causing the error?
What can I do to get my WSUS up and running again? Fresh install of WSUS, patches and so on is okay, but I couldn't reinstall the server itself.
TIA for any useful hints
Udo
