    Not really. The database is unique to each WSUS server.

    What are you trying to accomplish?

    Hi,

    If you want to Manage WSUS on a disconnected network involves exporting updates and metadata from a WSUS server on a connected network and then importing them to the WSUS server on the disconnected network.Then, i suggest you walk thru this guide:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939873(v=WS.10).aspx

    If you mean to migrate WSUS server,the recommended method is this:

    1. Install new server as a replica of existing server.
    2. Replicate.
    3. After replication is complete, reconfigure new server as upstream server and synchronize.
    4. When synchronization is successfully completed, reconfigure clients to use new server.

    regards,

    Clarence

    I don't think that this is the solution for my problem.

    I have to install more than WSUS Server for different Networks. But I cannot take all Windows Updates, so that I have to read the whole Update list and approve them manually.

    Now I'm looking for a solution to do it one time and then take a list of these manually approved updates and import it to all other server. I was thinking about using export function of wsusutil.exe without checking "download express installation files" and import this file to the other server. Is this possible?

    I don't have to replicate the whole db only the data content.

    Now I'm looking for a solution to do it one time and then take a list of these manually approved updates and import it to all other server.

    Exporting the approvals from one server to another is possible -- provided that the two servers have a compatible update collection, i.e., the updates that are approved on the source server, do actually exist on the target server.

    The WSUS API Samples & Tools kit has a utility for exporting/importing approvals. CAVEAT: The tools in the kit were originally written for the WSUS v2 API. The API has now gone through several revisions since the tools were originally written, so there may be compatibility issues on a current release of WSUS v3. It may require modifications to the source code and recompilation using Visual Studio 2005/2008 and the .NET 2.0 Framework.

    In addition, these tools are unsupported, which means you should take appropriate precautions against undesirable side-effects so that you have a point of recovery.

    I was thinking about using export function of wsusutil.exe

    The wsusutil export function does not export approvals, and it exports ALL of the updates that are present in the source server.
