WSUS can't complete post-installation tasks

[xerxes2985]

Hello,

I recently had an issue where the WSUS on my configuration manager server wouldn't work any longer. I went ahead and removed the software update point role and removed the wsus role to just start fresh. Now once it completed, I went ahead to run the post-install task, and get the errors listed in the attached temp file.

After reinstallation of the role and failure of the post-install tasks, I rebooted the server. Additionally, I have tried reinstalling using PowerShell, and still, the end result is still the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you delete the database before reinstalling WSUS?

That I did not do. I got so frustrated that I just setup a separate WSUS server with its own separate SQL instance instead of it being on the MECM server. I haven't tested the connection yet to synchronize from the upstream server as I am just waiting for the synchronization of the WSUS server I setup to complete.

Okay - now a new issue. Why is this so frustrating to get working. 

New WSUS server is working, updates are synchronizing, 8530, 8531 inbound traffic allowed.
On my MECM server, I have the WSUS console installed, per the message on the SUP properties page. Using the WSUS console, I can connect to remote WSUS server. 


I have the SUP configured on my Primary Site Server and have the synchronize from an update data source specified to the remote WSUS server. Additionally, I went ahead and deleted the SUSDB from the SQL Server running on the primary site server.

When I attempt synchronization, the following errors appear in the logs (wsyncmgr and wcm)

What am I missing, or where else can I look.
