Hello<br />
<br />
After doing a dcpromo /forceremoval and an update to SP2, one of them screwed up the WSUS 3.0 service. &nbsp;I looked for a solution ton this and on a Microsoft forum an MVP was saying that the dcpromo causes problems. &nbsp;He advised unstalling WSUS then IIS, then reinstalling IIS then WSUS. &nbsp;I tried this and, just like the guy who had started the post, could not uninstall WSUS due to an 'error'. &nbsp;The MVP suggested to the guy to reinstall the OS but this is not an option. &nbsp;Does anyone know how I could either uninstall WSUS or get it working again? &nbsp;There was mention somewhere of permissin to the /WSUS/ folder but I have allowed NETWORK SERVICES full control.<br />
<br />
Thanks guys<br />

WSUS broken after Dcpromo

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
