WSUS 3.0 Errors

[Guido van Brakel]

Hello

On a Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack. I have WSUS3.0 installed.
The installation went fine. But after that, when i click product
classifications i get this error. Does anyone know how to solve it. I
already tried to unistall and reinstall it but that didn't work. I also
asked Jetze Mellema,an Dutch MVP in dutch newsgroups. I saw more people
having this problem today, but i couldnt not find a solution anywhere.

Greetings,

Guido van Brakel

I had the same problem, using a Windows Internal Database and had to do the following to resolve it:

1 - download and install MS SQL Server Native Client
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/c/27c60d49-6dbe-423e-9a9e-1c873f269484/sqlncli.msi)

2 - download and install MS SQL Server 2005 Command Line Query Utility

(http://download.microsoft.com/downl...3e-9a9e-1c873f269484/SQLServer2005_SQLCMD.msi)

[above links are for x86 versions. See link below for other versions and MSSQL related software
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...94-8453-4998-8226-fa42ec403d17&DisplayLang=en)

3 - Connect to the database with the following command:

sqlcmd -S np:\\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query -E -d SUSDB

4 - Enter the following SQL commands:

UPDATE tbPreComputedLocalizedProperty
set Title = REPLACE(Title, '"','')
WHERE Title LIKE '%"Nitrogen"%'
GO
QUIT

This removes the double-quotes that are causing the error. Other posts have suggested that the same needs to be done for tbPrecomputedCategoryLocalizedProperty, but this was not required in my case.


I hope this helps you as it did me.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your suggestion, however it did not seem to solve the problem for
me.

The unexpected error is still occuring whenever I try to browse computers
within the WSUS Admin console. I can browse any other node within the admin
console but whenever I try to list "All Computers" the error appears and
Event 7053 is logged in the event log.

Any ideas/suggestions anyone?

Cheers,

Chris
