The article talks about exporting metadata from the database, but not the data. Is there any need to copy all the data from the old database from the new database? Or unnecessary?

Does this procedure require a service or server restart?

Ive completed the process but im not seeing any of the computer groups from the old server.

@David.Rawling Count yourself lucky you don't live in New Zealand then. Would cost about $95 for 45GB of downloads for month plus there is still a large portion of the country not upgraded to ADSL2+ yet. Business is slightly more expensive than that.

Small remark, export Updates View from old Wsus snap-in and import to new server. WsusContent folder just copy between servers.

Old cfg: Wsus 3.0 Sp2, DB on local host SQL Server Std, Content stored localy.

New cfg: Wsus 3.0 Sp2, remote DB on old SQL Server Std, Content moved (copy/paste) from old to new server drive\folder.

regards

I am sorry wheteher this is the right place to ask.

FYI, the existing condition I have one upstream server and 3 downstream servers. Since teh boxes are old and my boss ask me whetehr I can install WSUS3 sp2 on the VMware or HyperV? I will keep the same as the current condition i.e., 1 upstream and 3 downstream.

thanks

I have had mixed responses from many with the Sucess and failure . Just to summaries i would feel along with the WSUSutil import - export if we use the wsusmigration tool also we can make aure that theour migration is correct.

Note: Dont remove your old server unless and util you are 100 sure that the migration is completed 100%

To the question leafer what i would say is this is actually to compltely remove the old server from the network. Else the approach you had said would work well . Suggestion though :)
