1. Did export of .log and .gz (compressed metadata cab file) files from a Windows Server 2012 R2 export server to a Windows Server 2008 R2 import server.<br />
2. copied new WSUS Content folder over separately<br />

Problem<br />

1. The import of the new .log and .gz files produced a failed import into the Windows 2008 R2 import server. This is the first time I've seen this<br />
<br />
Note: I was thinking about re-exporting the .log and .gz (compresses metadata cab file) from the Windows Server 2012 R2 export server and trying to re-import to see if that makes a difference. I will wait to see what responses I get from the experts first. Thanks in advance.
