asked on Windows Server Update Services 3.0
I recently re-installed WSUS 3.0 on my SBS 2008 server. It appears to be working but a search for updates on the server or a workstation results in an error. I can connect online for updates to Microsoft updates. I'd like to get the WSUS feature repaired so that updates can be downloaded automatically.

I haven't installed that update on the re-install since it was the one that first crashed my WSUS application last June.

I ran the cleanup wizard, created the backup and restore batch files, then downloaded the replacement update. It all worked perfectly.
Many thanks for your considerable help.
