Windows Server 2019 WSUS

Question

Witam,

Zainstalowałem usługę WSUS na Windows Serwer 2019 wersja 1809 kompilacja systemu 17763.1637.

Przy procesie poinstalacyjnym otrzymuję błąd:

Rozpoczyna się proces poinstalacyjny
Błąd krytyczny: Wersja schematu bazy danych pochodzi z nowszej wersji programu WSUS
niż obecnie zainstalowana. Należy zastosować poprawkę do serwera WSUS
w celu uaktualnienia do tej wersji lub nowszej albo porzucić bazę danych.
Baza danych jest WID

Przeinstalowywałem całą usługę wraz z usunięciem bazy danych. Po ponownym zainstalowaniu usługi ten sam problem.

Hello,

I installed WSUS on Windows Server 2019 version 1809 OS Build 17763.1637.

With the post-installation process I get the error:

The post-installation process begins
Fatal error: The database schema version is from a newer version of WSUS
than currently installed. You must apply the hotfix to the WSUS server
to upgrade to this version or later, or abandon the database.
The database is WID

I was reinstalling the entire service including removing the database. Same problem after reinstalling the service.

Answer 2

Hi przemas,

Thanks for your posting on this forum.

I recommended to remove the WSUS role completely. Please refer to the below steps to move WSUS role and reinstall the WSUS role:
To remove WSUS completely, you need to:
1.

Remove the following server roles and features through Server Manager:

Roles: Windows Server Update Server

features: Windows Server Update Services Tools(at Remote Server Administration Tools -> Role Administration Tools)

Follow the wizard prompts to complete the deletion. Then restart the server.

2. After the server is restarted, manually delete the folder or file of the following path:
   • C:\WSUS (this depends on where you choose to install WSUS)
   • C:\Program Files\Update Services

       3.  
     

Delete database files

If you use SQL Server Management Studio to delete a database, you can try as follow.

In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance. Expand Databases, right-click the database to delete, and then click Delete. Confirm the correct database is selected, and then click OK.

If you use a WID database, it is recommended to delete the following path folders:

C:\Windows\WID

4. In the IIS Information Services (IIS) Manager, remove the WSUS Administration site manually. Then restart the server.

Hope the above will be helpful. If there are any updates, please remember to inform me.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Rita
