I uninstalled WSUS on disconnected server, reinstalled WSUS, applied KB2720211, KB2734608, and KB2828185, set the language and express file installation settings, copied WSUS folder, and imported metadata. The database updated in 5 minutes and synced with SCCM, I am now able to deploy the imported updates. Don't know why it worked this time, I didn't do anything different than the last time.....?

jolando, The cab file is 20 MB. I did copy the whole WSUS folder before importing the metadata. I will try KB2720211 but I was under the impression it was included in KB2734608. I will also checkout the 2 links you provided. I will post an update after trying your suggestions. Thank you

I found one mistake I had the SUP syncing to Microsoft Update rather than the manual update syncing selection, I fixed that. I was not clear in saying "the disconnected WSUS is not showing the updates". After the import the available updates are populated, but the updates that were approved and downloaded on the connected WSUS are not showing as approved on the disconnected WSUS, WSUS says "this update cannot be approved for installation because its Microsoft Software License Terms are still downloading. From the Main WSUS console window (disconnected) under Download Status is shows Updates needing files: 1 and Downloaded 3.86 MB of 11.49 MB. These have been stuck at this point and I don't understand, how could it have downloaded 3.86 MB it isn't connected to the Internet? If it's populating from the Database it has been much longer than 4 hours.

I have SCCM 2012 SP1 & WSUS 3.0 SP2 installed on a server that is disconnected from the Internet. I have another server with WSUS 3.0 SP2 installed that is connected to the Internet that I want to use to export updates to the disconnected WSUS. I have applied KB2734608 to both, rebooted, and ensured both are using the same language settings and using express file installation, I followed technet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939873(WS.10).aspx. I used wsusutil to export metadata from the connected WSUS, copied the WSUS folder and metadata to a removable drive, copied the WSUS folder and metadata to the disconnected server, and imported the metadata with wsusutil. I waited the 4 hours the technet article said it would take for the database to update; however, the disconnected WSUS is not showing the updates. In WSUS Help/About Microsoft Management Console the version is 3.0 SP1 version 3.2.7600.226, in the WSUS console under Connection the server version is 3.2.7600.256, and in the Control Panel/Programs and Features it shows WSUS 3.0 SP2 version 3.2.7600.226. This is the same for both servers. How can it be 3 different versions displayed in 3 different places? Furthermore, SCCM is leveraging WSUS to sync with Microsoft Update and producing errors. Is this type of SCCM setup possible? If so, what am I doing wrong or need to do differently to get this to work?

I used Configuration Manager to create deployment packages and download the updates, but I did not deploy the packages. I did not use WSUS.

I have WSUS 3.0 installed but have been using SCCM 2012 to download updates/patches/etc. I downloaded (but did not deploy) many updates last week to the hard drive, this week all of the files and folders I created are gone. I checked the wsyncmgr.log and found that SCCM deleted them. I have been searching and reading but cannot find a solution to stop SCCM's auto deleting, I have found others with the same problem but no solutions. I looked through Site Maintenance in Administration --> Overview --> Site Configuration --> Sites but none of the choices seemed to apply. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
