Perhaps you could explain exactly what you have done, and what you're doing it on?

Based on the information provided, I cannot even speculate on the possible nature of your issue, much less a solution.

Hi aurimas,

Could you please provide the OS version of your WSUS server?

If you want to add the WSUS role via Server Manager On Windows Server 2008, When you try to add the add role from servermanager its try to download the WSUS SP1 to install

Please check the below registry key make sure its set the MU site for downloading the patches

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Or Download the WSUS SP1 manually from the using the KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948014/en-us -
“Description of the Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 package”

Hope this helps.

not so much I did, just installed mcs , installed wsus and not configured it, seems that mcs is unble to see wsus or something, i configured Site Settings, but no luck

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
WUServer and WUStatusServer points to my mcs as i guess should be,

how can fix mcs to start work with wsus?

thanks

Please define "mcs".

> installed wsus and not configured it,

Why did you "not configure" it? Certainly it's not going to work until you configure it.

If you are using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), then you should be asking this question in the =SCCM= forums.

Even if you're not using SCCM, you've still not answered any questions, or provided sufficient background information for us to help you. This is a TEXT based help scenario. In order for us to help you we need to understand your situation. In order for that to happen, you need to explain, in writing, in this thread, exactly what your complete scenario is.

Merely asking a question and providing no background information makes it impossible to provide an intelligent, reasoned answer -- thus my original response from two weeks ago, which is still pending an answer.

Thank you. This is something we can start to work with.

First, have you reviewed and followed the WSUS Deployment Guide with respect to the installation and configuration of IIS7 on Windows Server 2008?

Second, have you reviewed and followed this blog post with respect to the installation of WSUS on Windows Server 2008?

http://blogs.technet.com/wsus/archive/2009/01/16/installing-wsus-3-0-sp1-through-window-server-2008-sp1-server-manager.aspx

Third, what exactly gave you the message "The update could not be found.".
