WSUS on SCCM server 2012 R2 not completing post install
For the life of us we cannot install WSUS on our SCCM 2012 R2 server.
We tried the \wsusutil.exe postinstall SQL_INSTANCE_NAME="ABC\SUS DB" CONTENT_DIR=X:\WSUS
We keep getting this error message below, and the highlighted part is the problem.
The account we are using has access to 'local admin' rights of the SCCM box. Also access to SQL
We have the proper permissions on the folder, adding also Network Service, etc.
We cannot get WSUS up and running and keep hitting a wall. Â It will not create WSUS website
Any suggestions would help.

First off Server 2012 uses WSUS 4.0 (WSUS 3.0 sp2 is not supported), secondly you need to install WSUS using the Add roles wizard.
