A brief history... We migrated the Databases from Server 2003 WSUS to Server 2012 WSUS and something seems to have went wrong. Machines would connect to the WSUS server but not get updates, so I thought I would uninstall WSUS and start from scratch...
After trying to re-install WSUS on Server 2012 I get the following error when trying tospecify the content directory.
Log file is located at C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\tmp1380.tmp
Post install is starting
Fatal Error: Unable to open the physical file "d:\WSUS\\UpdateServicesDbFiles\SUSDB.mdf". Operating system error 3: "3(The system cannot find the path specified.)".
Could not restart database "SUSDB". Reverting to the previous status.
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
File activation failure. The physical file name
"d:\WSUS\\UpdateServicesDbFiles\SUSDB_0.ldf" may be incorrect.
