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

'"
Msg

SERVERNAME

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