    Hi All

    I am busy re-installing SCCM but the WSUS installation keeps on failing

    tried to download wsus and install manually - also tried to add the wsus role through role services

    It fails with the following error

    Unable to create log file C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\u_ex121008.log. Make sure that the logging directory is correct and this computer has write access to that directory.

    I have tried to do the following as another post suggests in

    c:\windows\system32 lodctr /R

    This had no effect at all

    thx Mike

    Unable to create log file C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\u_ex121008.log. Make sure that the logging directory is correct and this computer has write access to that directory.

    Did you perform the activities described in the error message? How was IIS installed? Did anybody customize the IIS installation? Either the log files aren't at C:\inetpub\logs where they're supposed to be, or you don't have permission to write to that folder. 

    What account are you using to install WSUS?

    Was WSUS previously installed? If so, did you fully uninstall it?

    What else is installed on this system?
