WSUS Configuration Manager failed to configure upstream server settings on WSUS

Hello,

I'm receiving the following error:

 

WSUS Configuration Manager failed to configure upstream server settings on WSUS Server

 

Possible cause: WSUS Server version 3.0 SP2 or above is not installed or cannot be contacted.
Solution: Verify that the WSUS Server version 3.0 SP2 or greater is installed. Verify that the IIS ports configured in the site are same as those configured on the WSUS IIS website.

 

WSUS Configuration Manager will not be able to configure WSUS Server "CMServerName.domain.local" as the WSUS Server remoting API's of version 3.0 SP2 or greater are not installed on this site server.

 

WCM.log

Failed to create assembly name object for Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration. Error = 0x80131701.

Remote configuration failed on WSUS Server.

Setting new configuration state to 3 (WSUS_CONFIG_FAILED)

 

I've removed SUP role, IIS and Software Update Service and re-installed again without luck, SUP on separated server, it was working without issues.
