    Hi,

    I 'm trying to resolve an issue with WSUS installed on Server 2012. 

    I've deleted WSUS for reconfiguration, but it after installation it had the sam configuration so I decided to manually remove all WSUS junk from system using recomendations from this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ru-RU/winserverwsus/thread/f447e7d6-7007-4eb6-b38b-90f92525e092 

    After steps described in this artile I can't install WSUS because postInstallation tasks fail with:

    2013-03-19 19:23:45  Value is C:\Program Files\Update Services
2013-03-19 19:23:45  Swtching DB to multi-user mode......

    I've already found this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverwsus/thread/e1315264-c8f8-4d90-9892-330a04ac2753 but i don't have SCCM installed on this server.

    Can anybody help with this problem?

    Re-do the uninstallation instructions in the cited post, and then physically remove the WSUS Administration v-root from IIS.

    Thank you for response.

    I did it many times, and now WSUS Administration v-root is missing after WSUS installation. It's a magic.

    I've resolved an issue with WSUS reinstallation.

    I fixed it in this way:

    1. At first I deleted all related roles such as: WSUS, WID, IIS; and all related features

    2. I've deleted all WSUS and IIS related folders on Server (%windir%\system32\inetsrv; %systemdrive%\Program Files\Update Services; %systemdrive%\inetpub; %windir%\wid)

    3. Copied "inetsrv" folder from another Server 2012

    4. Used DISM to Enable needed features:

    DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:UpdateServices /All

    5. When previous command finished I had WSUS installed and there were only one step to finish repairing

    "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\WsusUtil.exe" postinstall content_dir=Your_WSUSContent_Folder_PATH 

    Yep! WSUS has just been repaired. 

    I just can't figure out why "Add roles and features" wizard and PowerShell "Enable-WindowsFeature" cmdlets didn't work.
