Dealing with another water leak again at work. This will be the second time in one year.
Is it in your server room?

@black3dynamite WID is a SQL Database too, that is why the PowerSHell scripts to cleanup usually use SQLCMD command as well.

Fixing this:

In case anyone is wondering how, here are the steps I use:- Do:
Net stop wsusservice
IISReset /Stop
IISReset /Start
Net start wsusservice - Then (if that fails):
C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>WsusUtil.exe postinstall
Also, you can check the application pool for wsus and increase memory if you have a lot of clients. Details: https://www.404techsupport.com/2016/03/21/iis-wsus-private-memory/
Also, while writing this, I fixed the reset server node error and my wsus is running fine now.
Not fun
It happens a lot for Server 2012 R2 and Server 2016 WSUS....It has to do with the database, as far as I can tell. There are several scripts out there for handling database cleanups, including one by Microsoft that's included with the application, and I've yet to find one that truly works perfectly.
Happens all the time with WID Database or SQL Server Express/Standard?
Because I wonder if using SQL Server would work better?If you're willing to license a full SQL server for WSUS, then you'd probably be best off spending the money on a 3rd party solution, like ManageEngine, to handle patching.
Using SQL Server Express will not work has an replacement of WID?

But isn't it a limited embedded version of SQL?

Those are very hard to come by in any datacenter.
-
@scottalanmiller Miami has some.
-
@EddieJennings NY/NJ had some last time I checked.

$5 or $10 instances not bad.

And so the adventure begins. FreePBX instance on Vultr is installing and voip.ms account has been created

I've been considering doing this at my home lab. . .

@DustinB3403 This is learning to configure and testing for me / seeing if this can be a good solution for the company for which I work.

The answer is of course, yes it would be a great solution for your company. The trouble comes in with getting the company to decide what features they require.

It is a horrible solution for you to implement. I can make it awesome though.

Going home.

Doing some NodeBB updates.

We are going to go down for a few for a major update. Backups are all taken, so fingers crossed.

We are back. Upgrade went well.
