The SBS Documentation Team and Susan Bradley have posted the resolution to the "unable to install WSUS" issue on OEM installs of SBS 2003:

To confirm you are experiencing this issue, two conditions must be true:

1.  You must have an OEM install.  If you installed off of retail media and WSUS is not installing on your SBS for any reason, I want to hear from you , but the fix above probably isn't what is preventing WSUS from installing.

2.  Look at your WSUSCA_xxxxxx_yyyy.log in the Program filesUpdate ServicesLogFiles of your install drive.  Affected machines will show an error similar to the following :

osql.exe -S SERVERNAME WSUS -E -b -n -Q "USE SUSDB EXEC sp_grantlogin N'DOMAIN IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME ' EXEC sp_grantdbaccess N'DOMAINIWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME' EXEC sp_addrolemember webService,N'DOMAIN IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME '"
Msg 15401 , Level 11, State 1, Server SERVERNAME WSUS, Procedure sp_grantlogin, Line 41
Windows NT user or group 'DOMAIN IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME ' not found. Check the name again.
Msg 15401 , Level 11, State 1, Server SERVERNAME WSUS, Procedure sp_grantdbaccess, Line 99
Windows NT user or group 'DOMAIN IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME '' not found. Check the name again.
Msg 15410 , Level 11, State 1, Server SERVERNAME WSUS, Procedure sp_addrolemember, Line 66
User or role 'DOMAIN IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME ' does not exist in this database.

(Obviously, SERVERNAME , DOMAIN, and IWAM_OEM-MACHINE-NAME will be machine- and domain-specific).
