WSUS reconstruct the environment

Hi All
Im a new comer to the site and wsus.
I inherited a functional wsus server it was great but due to a demand for improved reporting features I attempted to install the Wsus rollup reporting sample. Im uncertain as to how but I hashed up the installation to the extent that it corrupted the MSDE installation. It was suggested I remove wsus and reinstall.

At this point I made another error. I was told that WSUS 3 had improved reporting features (and indeed it does, its infinitely better in that respect) so I signed up with Microsoft and downloaded the installation file.

WSUS 3 uses SQL 2005 for Windows so my back up of the MDF & log files were rendered useless.

I have since removed WSUS 3 reinstalled a fresh copy of WSUS Sp1 and run the synchronisation job.

The fresh install does not have my machines/groups setup nor any of the updates approved.

I would like to know is there any way I can use the MDF file and its log to rebuild my WSUS environment

    Right. And this is a SSIS forum. Try the database engine forum.

    This is a shot in the dark but I think you might have the wrong forum.
