<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I had a WSUS server v 3.0 on a Windows 2003 server.<br />
<br />
The server can't be booted up anymore and the only thing i can do is retrieve some files off the hardrive<br />
<br />
So i rebuilt a new server and installed WSUS 3.0 sp2<br />
<br />
What I need to know is what file holds all the information of all the WSUS updates that were approved or declined? &nbsp;I have about 2700 updates and don't remember what was approved or declined.<br />
<br />
The mdf and ldf files that i found had a date of last modified on JUL 2007 so i don't think thats it.

So i rebuilt a new server and installed WSUS 3.0 sp2

What I need to know is what file holds all the information of all the WSUS updates that were approved or declined?  I have about 2700 updates and don't remember what was approved or declined.

The mdf and ldf files that i found had a date of last modified on JUL 2007 so i don't think thats it.

How to get list of WSUS approved updates from dead 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).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
