WSUS is failing now that FEP2010 integration is installed: New SCCM setup (replacing a prrof of concept that went well, and which setup was well documented...so the re-build should have been good) System is Windows Server 2008R2/SCCM 2007 R3/SQL Server 2008 (not-R2) System was up for a few days, including a Pilot deployent of Software Updates. NOTE: This Pilot included me selecting my Products in Software Updates, which I could see in the WSUS Console (I only looked at the WSUS after this failure, but it does tell me that my SCCM control of WSUS was working at one point) I then installed (serversetup.exe) the SCCM/Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 integration. Problem: Now SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER and SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANAGER are lit up all Red with Errors in the Site Status screen and I notice that my SCCM changes no longer roll down to the WSUS native console (again, I realize WSUS console should not be used, I'm only using this to notice that something ain't right.) Any ideas? The only changes between the good status and failure are: Installation of KB2271736 (required for FEP) Setting to Automatic-start the Windows Server "SQL Agent" (required by FEP) FEP 2010 serversetup.exe running Now WSUS is in the toilet...

None of the above should have any influence on your WSUS server. You need to look at the wcm.log and wsusctrl.log to start troubleshooting.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Great, and now it's working with a reboot (the fift time is the trick!)
