In fact removing the WSUS from SBS server, without removing the database, then reinstalling on the secondary server using the SQL database from SBS can give you all infos back.<br />
Anywayt the GPO must be modified to point to the new server.<br />
You can find the GPO name using Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) on a client computer.<br />

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your feedback, when removing WSUS it does give you the option to keep or remove the database. After modifying the right GPO everything removed fine.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I want to know if removing WSUS from an SBS server is going to cause us issues. We have a secondary server running WSUS and the SBS server is running out of storage. If I Remove the WSUS role will we have issues with the standard operating environment and does removing the roll remove the databases?<br />
<br />
We are running SBS 2008 running File, Mail, Print, DHCP, DNS, Network AV.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look forward to reading your solutions!
