Guest RayRogers Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Currently I have WSUS 2.0 server. We use AD group policies to have different OU point to this server for updates. I am working on replacing it with new server and install WSUS 3.0 instead. Should I just do refresh install? I have computer groups on exising old server? Is there a way to carry these settings (including the updates downloaded on existing server) over to new server with WSUS 3.0? Any suggestion on proper way to do this? Thanks!

Any suggestion on proper way to do this? Thanks! I did this two weeks ago. Just install WSUS3 over your existing WSUS2. It will detect the existing computer groups and database of installed/declined updates and preserve them for you in WSUS3. A fairly idiot-proof point-and-click operation if I managed it! I had put it off for over a year because it used to be more complicated. -- Regards, Newell White
