Hi Karuna,
If you can provide the error log tmpBDA5.tmp with a section about critical errors, it will help you to analyze the problem better.
Provide an idea, such errors often appear when the WSUS function role is removed and reinstalled. If you are also in this situation, please consider the following steps, completely remove WSUS, and then re-install WSUS:
- Remove the following server roles and features through Server Manager:
Roles: Windows Server Update Server
Features: Windows Internal Database, Windows Server Update Services Tools (At Remote Server Administration Tools -> Role Administration Tools)
Follow the wizard prompts to complete the deletion. Then restart the server.
- After the server is restarted, manually delete the folder or file of the following path:
- C:\WSUS (It depends on where you choose to install WSUS.)
- C:\Program Files\Update Services
- C:\Windows\WID
- In the IIS Information Services (IIS) Manager, manually remove the
WSUS Administration site. Then restart the server.
You can also consider using the Powershell command Remove-WebSite -Name "WSUS Administration" for deletion.
This completes the complete removal of WSUS and related content, and then you can install a new WSUS.
Regards,
Hope the above can help you.
