Setting Up a WSUS Server along with SEPM

Recently i installed WSUS on a server running Symantec endpoint protection Manager using default settings, and i didn't know that this is not recommended until my SEPM stopped working correctly..

The problem is both WSUS and SEPM create a virtual directory in IIS called content, and whichever was installed first will stop working, normally it's recommended to install WSUS on Port 8530 on a server where sharepoint or SEPM is already installed.

So basically I had to unistall the WSUS, sort out my SEPM, and re-installed my WSUS to use port 8530 and it's own virtual content directory and update the group policy to point to http://servername:8530.

After this I had WSUS and SEPM working in harmony.

Hi

How do you 'sort out your SEPM' after you uninstalled WSUS ? Mind provide details on what you do ? I have the exact same issue here

In the Add/Remove programs under control Panel, Repair SEPM and make sure you have the installation media for SEPM as it will be required during the process. The repair wizard will reconfigure SEPM while maintaining the same database.

I tried that but I'm still getting errors from SEPM update failure code return = 2. My last effort here is to systematically uninstalled Liveupdate, Endpoint client, and IIS and bring them back in order.. Any advise is much appreciated.
