SThis section offers help and guidance on troubleshooting WUS Installations.

The following is a simple checklist of possible issues.

1. Do you have Minimum Free Disk Space? See the WSUS Deployment Guide for more information on free disk space requirements.
   
2. Is the Installation drive & system partition formatted with NTFS? WSUS requires both the WSUS Database and the WSUS content to be loaded onto NTFS volumes.
   
3. Do you have IIS installed? IIS is required to setup, configure and manage (and use) WSUS.
   
4. Do you have Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 installed? This is required on your WSUS server.
   
5. Do you have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 installed? This is required, and WSUS server checks for it's presence. NB: Installing the SP requires a reboot.
   
6. Do you have BITS 2.0 installed? This is required.
   
7. Do you have Database - SQL Server 2000/WMSDE/MSDE installed? A database is required, but WSUS will install WMSDE if no database service is found on the WSUS server.

You can find further details behind these Troubleshooting questions in in the WSUS FAQ section.
