Installing the WSUS Administrative Console Using the Setup Wizard

Take the following steps to install the administrative console using the wizard:
 

1. Double-click the WSUSSetup_30SP2_x86.exe setup file that you downloaded earlier.
2. Click Next to get past the first page of the wizard, and then select Administrator Console Only. Click Next again.
3. Click I Accept The Terms Of The License Agreement, and click Next.
4. If you see the Required Components to Use Administration UI page, click Next. 

The Microsoft Report Viewer 2005 Redistributable will have to be installed, because it is required to open the WSUS console. It isn’t needed when you are using WSUS with Configuration Manager, however.
 

5. When the wizard is done, click Finish.

6. To verify that the install completed, click Start ➢ All Programs ➢ Administrative Tools, and then choose Windows Server Update Services. To verify that connectivity, connect to the WSUS server that you are going to use with Configuration Manager.
