How to Re-install SUP on SCCM ?

Sometimes we come across issues with WSUS installed on SCCM server and re-installing it resolves most of the issues. So, the question is what are the steps to re-install the WSUS from SCCM server?

Here are the steps:

Step 1
Uninstall the SUP role and wait for some time . Any SUP object like updates lists, templates etc. wont be deleted. SUPSetup.log file in the logs directory will show you the status of the uninstall action.

Step 2
Uninstall WSUS from Add/Remove programs. When you uninstall the WSUS you will have the option to remove the DB, Files and Logs. Doing this on the WSUS server will not affect what is in SCCM So, to completely uninstall WSUS, make sure you remove the DB at least.

Step 3
Restart the server.

Step 4
Install WSUS and add SUP site server role on SCCM server.Again check the SUPSetup.log for results.

This completes the procedure.
