WSUS Role on Server 2012 R2 fails - SQL Server Error "Schema Verification Failed SUSDB"

Server is Windows Server 2012R2
After installing the WSUS role with WID, when running the post installation task it installs the SUSDB in single user mode, runs all its scripts but then when it tries to set it it MULTI mode it fails with the error:
Schema Verification Failed SUSDB
If I log onto SQL Management Studio and try to set the database SUSDB to MULTI user mode manually it fails with the same error.
Detaching, deleting the susdb.mdf and .ldf files and re-running the post-installation task fails on the same error.
Uninstalling the WSUS and WID roles, deleting the C:\Windows\WID folder and reinstalling everything once again gives the same error during post installation.
Seems like a nasty bug.
Does anyone have any ideas? Perhaps there is a way to debug "Schema Verification Failed" errors in SQL Server?

Hi,
If the WID can't access "C:\Windows\WID\Binn\DBVerify\SUSDBVerify.dll", this issue may occur.
Please change the account of WID to local system account in services.msc, then restart the WID service.
Then try to start the post-install again.
If issue persists, please check the detailed information of WID log.
Best Regards.

WSUS reinstall on 2012 SCCM server post-installation task fails to run/finish

I had to re-install WSUS on a 2012 R2 SCCM server (Windows 2012), and am running into several issues re-installing. It may help to point out that the SCCM SQL server is remote, so this isn't a WSUS / SQL 2012 issue.
The sticky post at the top of the WSUS forum has helpful troubleshooting information, and I have tried going through this as well as many other threads on this very topic of re-installing WSUS.
1. Roles for WSUS and WID were removed successfully. The WSUS Website was manually deleted from IIS. As this is a SCCM server, removing the IIS role is not an option.
2. I removed the existing WID database files for SUSDB
3. After rebooting, I verified registry keys were gone, system files were cleaned up, and deleted the program files\update services directory
4. This isn't a permission issue, as I have clearly installed this before on this server.
5. Registry keys, system files, and susdb files no longer exist, and the server has rebooted cleanly.
6. I am able to add the WSUS role selecting WID, and this installs WID without any errors. At this point, simply clicking the post installation task fails, generates an empty .tmp file in my %appdata%\temp folder, and exits the MMC.
7. This file is blank. Absolutely empty, so I couldn't really troubleshoot any post installation tasks.
8. Further investigation shows that the 'C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\' directory is gone, and isn't being
generated.
9. Ok... DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth didn't return any issues, so I copied the wsusutil out of the windows\WinSxS directory.
10. Yey! wsusutil postinstall runs, but bombs out on the IIS portion. It generated the DB without an issue, but results
in an IIS generation error. So, I installed WSUS on a clean 2012 install, then copied over the program files\updateServices directory to reclaim the missing files.
The log files show --

... ok - tripple checked that network service has permissions to .net and windows\temp folders.
netstat -a doesn't show anything running on port 8530 ( in case this was some weird port check in use)
Which goes back to the missing directory problem -- further net searches show that this is a reoccurring issue for some OOBE... sfc /verifyonly shows ... nothing.
What is left to be done at this point? The missing folders from the program directory seems to be a problem for some with some users right out of the box. I have read many other threads where users just formatted and started over. Not exactly a solution
- any help out there on this issue? Any suggestions to determine what file is missing, or generating the IIS issues?

Part of the post install tasks wanted to download some items including the tools folder.
Can you expand on this please. The WSUS post-install tasks do not download anything, except what is acquired during the initial synchronization with Microsoft.
Because of my group policy the WSUS server was trying to download the updates from itself even though it was not setup yet.
What update(s) was the WSUS server trying to "download"?
In fact, if the WSUS Server was not setup yet (but you already had a GPO in place), then the first issue here was performing deployment steps out of order.
But still.... except for the actual installation binaries for the WSUS Server Role on a WS2008SP2/WS2008R2 system, there's nothing the WSUS server needs to get from either Windows Update or a WSUS server. This scenario is actually discussed hundreds of times
in this forum, but complicating matters, this thread isn't about installing WSUS V3.2 on a WS2008SP2/WS2008R2 system, it's about installing WSUS v65 on a WS2012 system, so I'm a bit confused as to what the actual installation environment is that we're discussing.
I changed the WSUS server to get it's windows updates from Microsoft and then the post install task succeeded.
I'd really like to get some more details about what exactly in the "post-install task" was dependent upon content from WU/WSUS.

Task sequence fails to resume after first reboot - Post Installation Task Sequence

Hi everyone,
I am unable to deploy a Post Installation Task Sequence whenever I add an application to the "custom tasks" folder in the task sequence. If I create a blank Post Installation Task Sequence w/o making any changes, it deploys fine and gives
me a summary page w/ no errors. Just to be clear, Litetouch runs fine when I kick off "cscript litetouch.vbs" from an elevated cmd prompt when logged in as administrator, but after reboot it boots to windows and does nothing.
I know it's not deploying because it's leaving around a mapped drive to the share, a SMSTaskSequence folder and MININT folder on the target machine. My understanding is that those are supposed to get cleaned up by LTIcleanup.wsf at the end of the
task sequence.
The BDD.log doesn't seem to be of much use. The last line of the log says "sms task sequencer already found on c:\minint\tools\x64" and then it does nothing.
FWIW, I'm able to deploy using the standard task sequence and also able to sysprep and capture. The application that I am trying to install is just a batch file that adds the reg key to hide the start menu, then reboot. I am not rebooting in the script,
I'm telling the application to do the reboot in MDT.
I know to a certainty that the target machine (a VM) has been sysprepped and am able to establish a connection to the deployment share so I'm kind of at a loss. Also looked over Keith's FAQ on the subject and couldn't find any similarities to my issue.
Any help is appreciated. I can provide logs if necessary. Thanks!

Well, I created a fresh deploymentshare on a fresh windows server 2012 VM and am still having the same problem. If I create a blank Post OS Installation Task and make no changes, it deploys fine to the target vm (win8.1). If I have an app (chrome)
that I have set to reboot after installation, it always (tested this 30+times) fails to resume the task sequence. I get no final confirmation page and a big mess that I clean up with LTIcleanup.wsf.
The deployment share has full (everyone) permissions to the share and I have full perms set to domain admin group for ntfs. It seems like something goes wrong with the reboot cycle, but autologin seems to work fine with the admin pw so I'm really confused.
Like I said, the bdd.log in c:\windows\temp\deploymentshare doesn't have any errors. I've tested this both on joined and unjoined (workgroup) machines and it makes no difference.
I should note that I can deploy Chrome and other apps sequentially as long as reboots are not involved. So far, I've only had this problem if the reboot occurs with the first application. Haven't yet tested on reboots w/ other apps in the sequence.
FWIW, this is starting to look like this:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2db5f184-8332-4f63-b1ad-385a6d893f8c/mdt-2013-windows-81-application-install-with-reboot-problem?forum=mdt
Can someone tell me why this might be happening? Is this a bug with this task sequence? Would someone mind testing this to see if there's just something wrong in my environment?
I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Not exactly your problem, but the solution might help.

Installing Update Rollup 4 for R2. Question of post installation task

I will be installing Update Rollup 4 for Service Manager 2012 R2 on our Orchestrator, Data Warehouse, Service Manager and Portal Server as well as updating the client Consoles.
Following MS article
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2989601/en-us?sd=rss#install.
A bit confused about the Post installation tasks. Particularly the following:
Resynchronize System Center Operations Manager mount point data
To resynchronize Operations Manager mount point data after you apply this update, follow these steps:
Disable all the Operations Manager configuration item (CI) connectors in the Service Manager console.
In Windows PowerShell, check the current execution policy by running the following cmdlet:
Get-ExecutionPolicy
If the current execution policy is Restricted, set it to
Remotesigned by running the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy –force RemoteSigned
Find the following PowerShell script in your System Center 2012 R2 installation directory:
OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
By default, you should find this file in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Service Manager\PowerShell
Run the following command from the Primary Management server:
PowerShell .\OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
Revert the execution policy to the original value that it had in step 2.
Enable and synchronize the relevant Operations Manager CI connectors.
Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager.
I am guessing they are talking about the System Center Configuration Manager Connector but not sure. We don't have a Connector for SCOM. If by OMCIConnector they mean SCOM, then I don't need to worry about this. If would be nice if they would tell
you why you are doing this. I don't even know what "Mount Point Data" is.
Does anyone know if it would cause any problems if I skipped this step? I hate doing stuff when I don't know why I am doing it. For example, step 8 "Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager."
What does that even mean?
Also, I cannot even find the PowerShell script they are talking about in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Powershell folder so are they talking about SCOM or SCCM?

All of the steps listed refer to the Operations Manager connections. none of these steps relate to the Config Manager connector. If you are not using SCOM, or don't have a SCOM connector, then you can safely ignore these steps.

OBIEE 11g post installation tasks in Linux?

Hi,
Do I need to write any script for high availability of OBIEE and web logic servers in Linux? what are the processes to start/stop manually using command? Please give me post installation tasks I need to taken care of.
Thanks
Jay.

Becky,
You need not do any thing additional to have EM running in the OBI 11g instance. Although it is a deployed JEE application, if your Weblogic Server (WLS) is started and up and running then your EM Console should also be up and running.
You say that you are doing everything from the command line. So, start the Weblogic Server then navigate to http://< your server name> : 7001/console
If that comes up then go to
http://<your server name>:7001/em
That is your EM Fusion Console and it should come up as well.
Don't mess with the XML file directly.

SQL 2005 Upgrade complete! - Post installation tasks questions!

Hi All
I have managed to upgrade our DEV and TST ECC6 systems to SQL2005 (from SQL2000) and so far all seems ok however I have a a few questions and checks I would like some help with. I have included my post installation tasks at the bottom of this post, so you know what I have done.
I have noticed that when I run SGEN I get a short dump LOAD_VERSION_LOST which I am not sure what this means.
If there is anything else I need to do or should do please let me know.
Thanks

Post-Installation task client

Hi
I´ve a doubt with the post-installation tasks of the installation of the sap system. The default clients are 000,001 and 666.
In with client I´ve to realize this tasks?In the client 001 and after that I realize the client copy of the client 000. The changes are cross-client?
More thanks

Hi Ruben,
Please let us know which SAP Product and version you have installed. Because there are seperate set of post installation activities for each Product such as ECC, PI, EP, CRM,SRM etc.
For Ex: If you have installed a ECC system, most of the initial post installation activities such as STMS configuration, SGEN etc need to be done on client 000. This information is very well available in Post installation guides.
If you have installed a PI system, you need to carry most of the PI specific post installation activities in the java UME client i.e by default it is 001. But you can also perform the activities in any custom client by having a client copy and come configuration changes.
Cheers....,
Raghu

Adding Company Knowledge with OpsMgr 2012 Console - "Failed to launch Microsoft Word"

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to add company knowledge using the OpsMgr 2012 console (32-bit) on Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) using the guidelines provided at the following link...
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212900.aspx
I'm using Office 2010 Pro Plus SP1 (32-bit) with the .NET Programmability feature and the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime installed, but I get the dreaded "failed to launch Microsoft Word" error...
...any help or guidance would be greatly apprecaited!
Regards,
JJ

Thanks Andres!
I have confirmed that the following instructions does allow you to use Word 2010 32-bit running on Windows 7 64-bit or Windows Server 2008 R2 to edit company
knowledge...
1. Go to the directory where the OpsMgr console is installed (example: C:\Program Files\System Center\Operations Manager 2012\Console )
2. Make a copy of Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config
3. Edit Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe.config using Administrator rights
4. Search for “</dependentAssembly>” and remove the “<publisherPolicy apply="no" />” line immediately following the “</dependentAssembly>” line
Hope this helps!
Regards,
JJ
Well, firstly I have to agree with other people's comments along the lines of "It shouldn't be this hard!", but I can happily say that the solution above (by IM5FOOTNOTHIN)
worked for me...once I noticed this crucial footnote: "Do this for
ALL instances of the
<publisherPolicy apply="no" /> line that immediately follow the </dependentAssembly> line"

I know it has to be permission issues but for the life of me cannot figure it out. I have tipple checked the permission but they seem to be in order. I have performed clean install several time and same result. I have compared it with my working
2008 R2 server and everything seems in order.

Exactly by following the Microsoft "migration" guide
Argghh.. I wish they'd shoot and kill that thing. The 'guide' is part of why migration has been such a pain.
Whats your point?
My original point was going to drive toward the state of KB2734608 on the original server, but now we have so many more opportunities for complications to have occurred. :-)
"Values does not fall within the expected range" is a new message that we've not seen prior to very recent times. Since the only thing new/changed in WSUS relates to SHA256 hashes, it occurs to me that 'migrating' a WSUS v3 server that does not have KB2734608
installed onto a WSUS v6 server on Win2012 may be inherently problematic.
The procedure you used was derived from an older procedure for migrating to Windows Server 2008 R2, and was originally created (for Win2012) in Feb 2012, updated in April 2012, but does not take into consideration the subsequently discovered impact of the
use of SHA256 hashes in Win8/Win2012.
WSUS has built in replication -- I've never understood why the Windows Server team found it necessary to build such a complicated procedure when the native replication does almost all of the work in one step.
Consider this alternate migration procedure:
Install KB2734608 on original WSUS v3 server. (This is necessary to create the SHA256 hashes for all of the updates in the database.)
Install fresh WSUS v6 on Windows Server 2012 and configure as replica of WSUS v3 server.
Replicate. (This will bring across updates, computer groups and approvals.)
After replication (and file transfers) are complete, configure the new servers as an upstream server and synchronize with Microsoft.
Point the clients to the new server. (If you are using client-side targeting, the clients will automatically populate into their assigned groups.)
Also, to the procedure used... if you copy the 'WSUSContent' folder from the old server to the new server, it results in the ACLs of the new server being overwritten, taking away necessary access rights for the new server to work correctly.

SQL Server 2012 syspolicy_purge_history fails step 3 "Erase Phantom System Health Records."

I recently installed SQL Server 2012 Ent (x64). The install is a stand alone default instance.
The syspolicy_purge_history job fails on step three with the following error:
Executed as user: <DomainName>\sql_xxx_agt_svc. A job step received an error at line 1 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned -scope process -Force'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error
information returned by PowerShell is: 'Security error. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed.
Here is the code that is in the step:
if ('$(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(INST))' -eq 'MSSQLSERVER') {$a = '\DEFAULT'} ELSE {$a = ''};
(Get-Item SQLSERVER:\SQLPolicy\$(ESCAPE_NONE(SRVR))$a).EraseSystemHealthPhantomRecords()
The domain user is the account that SQL Agent is running as.
What permissions need to be granted to this account?
Here is the link to the Connect post:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/754063/sql-server-2012-syspolicy-purge-history-job-step-3-fails-with-security-error

I'm putting this in the connect post as well, but putting here in case somoene else comes across it.
I was having the same problem with the syspolicy_purge_history job right after a standalone SQL 2012 (with SP1 and cu4,
11.0.3368.0 (X64)) install that happened to be on a cluster but was not going to be a clustered instance. After trying all the different suggestions here around the ExecutionPolicy, I was still getting nowhere.
Turns out, having a named isntance with a static port number and the SQL Browser service disabled was causing my problems. Apparently that was not allowing PowerShell to find the SQL instance. When I would navigate the SQLSERVER:\SQLPolicy folder
in PowerShell (sqlps), I could get to the server root, but not the instance. If I even tried to list the subdirectories under the server folder, I would get an error:
PS SQLSERVER:\> cd .\SQLPolicy\SRVR
PS SQLSERVER:\SQLPolicy\SRVR> ls
WARNING: 'INST' not available: Failed to connect to server. --> A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
PS SQLSERVER:\SQLPolicy\SRVR> cd .\INST
cd : Failed to connect to server .

+ cd <<<< .\INST
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Location], ConnectionFailureException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ConnectionFailureException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand
To solve this issue, I had to open SQL Server Configuration Manager and create an alias under the SQL Native Client 11.0 Configuration (I didn't need to set the 32-bit one):
Alias
[server name]\[instance name]
Port
[my static port]
Protocol
TCP/IP
Server
[server name]\[instance name]
Once this was done, I was able to set the ExecutionPolicy registry settings, and the job completed. Here are my registry settings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell\ExecutionPolicy = Restricted
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.PowerShell.sqlps110\ExecutionPolicy = RemoteSigned
