So after installing WSUS on Server 2012, I returned to it the next day to see this:
Clicking Reset Server Node does nothing.
Leave everything else the same and click Next. Then click Finish.
Now WSUS should start up for you.
Clicking Reset Server Node does nothing.
If you've ever dealt with WSUS for an extended period of time, you're probably used to this and if you haven't, get used to it.
So in the event viewer I saw these errors:

That's a lot of errors and this is right after a WSUS reinstall. When I restarted, it seemed like it would work for a bit and then crash again.
After going into IIS Manager, I noticed that WSUS Pool has stopped under Application Pools. I dug around a bit and found that this is a memory issue for this particular application pool.
In order to fix this, you have to select WsusPool and click Recycling.
Deselect Private memory usage (in KB)
Leave everything else the same and click Next. Then click Finish.
Now start WsusPool.
Now WSUS should start up for you.
Sorry if i reopen the old thread, but if i do the solution with typing 0 nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteI also tried fixing by, installing updates for the windows server 2019 itself and restarted the system after installing. I also tried the ISS Solution.
