    In the 3.x version of WSUS you could choose during the installation whether you wanted a full installation og just and Admin console of WSUS.

    Is this not possible with the new WSUS in Server 2012?

    Yes i got that far. :)

    But selecting just the "Windows Software Update Services" and de-selecting the "Database" and "WID Database" ... Would that correspond to what we formerly knew as an Admin Console Installation @ WSUS 3.0.

    I Found out that it did...

    Deselecting Database and WID Database still causes some trouble with the post-install task that will forever terminate with error.

    Better:

    Start PowerShell Console (as Administrator) and run : Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices-Ui

    This will install the console only and not run a post-install task. Just connect to remote WSUS Server

    We have a Server Core install running our WSUS, I used PowerShell on a management server to install the console

    PS> Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices-RSAT

    You can check which update services are installed using this cmdlet

    PS> Get-WindowsFeature update*
