Answered WSUS Administration site missing

    Hello,

       Just installed WSUS (Windows 2008 R2 x64). The install went fine. When I open IIS7 there is no WSUS Admin site listed? Has anyone else experienced this issue before? Are there any quick fixes for this or should I try a un-install and start from scratch?

    The only site there is the 'Default' which is using PORT 80. I could try and manually create the site and then create the 'selfupdate' virtual directory.

    I discovered this problem as no computers were showing up in the 'Computers' container within the WSUS console.

    Hi ZT,

    During WSUS installation, WSUS uses the default IIS website on port 80 by default, if you didn't choose to use custom IIS website, then WSUS will sue the defualt webesite in IIS.

    For no computers shown in WSUS console, make sure you have already configured your group policy and applied the policy to your clients.

    I just blew away the server and re-created a new VM. Went through the process again and this time it worked. Didn't do anything differently and used the same 'GOLD' VM that we always use.
