WSUS 2 import files

[ygdrazil]

Had a wsus 2 install and managed to uninstall it, i have all the files but are now atempting to import them to a new server.

The problem is that if i overwrite the database files we get now database conection.

I was a bit quick and did not use the export tool before uninstalling, and now need to copy the files to a new server (if you know how to do this for wsus 3 that would be greate but wsus2 is ok) and get wsus to use the files and db.

Is there anyone who has a good ide here?

Without the MSDE or SQL database that held the data about all of the stored updates, they are useless. If you have the susdb*.* database files from the previous install, you can go here to get a head-start on installing a new server with the old data.

Problem solved or walked around.

Copied all the files to content dir, and did the approval thing all over...

Wsus did not redownload so all in all good for our bush link (128k/64k)
