SCCM 2012 Beta 2 and WSUS hell!

[Lucero]

Hi all, hoping someone can help a newb with this!

 

Thanks to the excellent Beta 2 part series on here, I've got it installed and running / reporting and can PXE boot to machines, etc.

 

Now, the WSUS challenge. I had a server previously running WSUS and looking after all relevant updates. It worked fine

 

I obviously want to get SCCM to take care of this now.

 

So, I've added the SCCM site server to the existing WSUS server local admin group. I've then added the WSUS server as a site server on the SCCM box. I added the SUP role.

 

Now, I'm pretty sure this is where things get interesting. During the add SUP wizard, I keep the classifications and products as they are (although I note, not all of the products are listed, no Exchange 2010 for example).

 

This wizard completes and I can see the messages in the config status viewer. I see sync started, then it fails:

 

WSUS Synchronization failed.

Message: WSUS server not configured.

Source: CWSyncMgr::DoSync.

The operating system reported error 2147500037: Unspecified error

 

I have the WSUS server set up at the default website, etc.

 

Hoping someone can help

 

Thanks

Here are some possibilties: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb735874.aspx

 

Although I have to say that troubleshooting that error costs most times more time then removing WSUS and the SUP and then reinstalling it.
