Reconfiguration of WSUS On Windows Server 2012 Standard R2

Hi
I uninstalled WSUS and now trying to reinstall on Windows Server 2012 Standard R2. It gets installed however
1. Post installation configuration fails.
2. The temp file created does not have any information.
3. There is no tools folder under Update Services folder in program files.

I have deleted IIS WSUS pool and Website.

Appreciate quick help on this.

Thanks
Sachin

Likely you'll need to add the SchUseStrongCrypto and restart the server. If you had a license for WSUS Automanted Maintenance ©, a new update coming next month includes this as "Set-SchUseStrongCrypto -Value 1" from the WAM Shell, and notifies you if you have any of the recommended settings like this that are not set or incorrectly set.

 $Properties = @{
     Name = 'SchUseStrongCrypto'
     Value = '1'
     Type = 'DWord'
 }
    
 $null,'Wow6432Node' | Foreach-Object {
     Set-ItemProperty @Properties -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE$("\$_")\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319" -Verbose
 }

Hi @AJTek-Adam-J-Marshall
I was able to install the WSUS correctly after using the PowerShell command mentioned in your guide to remove it and then add it again. Thank you for the guide.

However, now I am facing an issue where while configuring WSUS if I select Synchronize from Microsoft Update, No Proxy, and then Start Connecting, it fails with an error An HTTP error occurred and not going ahead. Kindly help in this regard.

Thanks
Sachin

Did you remove the WSUS Services by GUI in Server Manager, or via PowerShell like in my guide?

Hi @LeonLaude

I tried the steps mentioned in the links,
1. I do not have .Net 4.7 installed.
2. I am not finding any TOOLS folder in the Update Services folder under program files and hence not able to run commands manually using wsusutil.exe (I did uninstall and reinstall but not finding this folder).
3. We were earlier using SQL database, so I have Detached susdb.mdf file from it and also renamed it.

Thanks
Sachin
