There was 5 or 6 updates for 3 workstations and 1 member server, even after deleting the machine domain accounts WSUS still wanted to install updates. There does not appear to be anyway to fix this from the SBS Console.
There probably is a proper way to tell WSUS that these machines are no longer domain members but here’s how I resolved it.
- Administration Tools, Windows Server Update Services, Computers, All Computers
- Check under Update Service Client Computers or Update Service Server Computers
- Select any computers that have been removed from the network and delete them.
Gotcha #1: Do not play with Windows Server Update Services you will break it.
SBS 2008 configures WSUS if you change the configuration outside Windows SBS Console WSUS will stop working.
Gotcha #2: Service packing WSUS do not be tempted by the final dialog box.
When service packing WSUS you will be presented with a dialog box with settings on completion. This is a generic SP for WSUS and does not know it is going on SBS 2008 so gives you the wanna change my configuration dialog … Remember Gotcha #1
“Yes I got caught by both … MCSE … if there’s a button we’ll press it … if there’s a setting we’ll change it!”
