I've enabled all the protocols and the SQL browing service is also runnig, the system does not have MOSS or Share point services. But WSUS 3.0 is installed on the system

My SQL is installed on a default instance, and i dont have any other named instances on the server..
Can you try clicking "change computer" and putting in the IP or name of the SQL Server?

Already tried that, no luck there, still the same prob.

It looks like SAC can't find the instance name. I've run into this before but in my cases I was pointing at the wrong instance name.
