Great article here... after trying another method (from TechNet - which failed...) I decided to give this a whirl.. everything was clockwork up until running the export command, I was getting errors similar to others. What I did was REMOVE the WSUS API Samples and TOols and then "re-installed it" but this time I selected "Everyone" can use it (not "just me") in the install wizard. Also, I made sure that my Command Prompt that I was running the tools in was in the Administrator Context. On W2K3, right-click and say run as and then make sure it has Administrator checked, **BUT MAKE SURE you de-select "Run in restricted mode"... once I figured this out the rest of the process was smooth... I am still waiting for my clients to restart and hook into the new WSUS server, once the GPO deploys I'm hoping all is well... Take care! Thanks again for all the great info! JIm Hey everyone!
