Mat,

The solution is here:

This is a great resource SUS and WUS

[Norman_21]

A. Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.

Set the buffer limit to unlimited using the following commands.

Try using "ADSUTIL" & Run these commands;

1. adsutil set w3svc/1/root/autoupdate/aspbufferinglimit -1

2. adsutil set w3svc/aspbufferinglimit -1

ADSUTIL is found in C:InetpubAdminScripts of SUS Server.

^^^ AWESOME thanks very much!

Matt,

I noticed your OS is SBS2003.
Now that the Windows 2003 SP1 is out, DO NOT install it in your SBS2003 Server.

There are known issues with 2003 SP1 & SBS2003.

Wait for SBS2003 SP1. It should be released within the next 60 days!

It's just a peace of advice!

DAMN! i had it ok'd last week and i think it is installed now :-(

any suggestions now? i am actually across the country now and would have to dial in to do anything.

i found this on another site:

There has been quite a few questions regarding Windows Server 2003 SP1 and it's support on Windows Small Business Server 2003: I hope this post will clear up any of the confusion here. If you have immediate questions, please feel free to follow up in the public Microsoft Newsgroup at: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs I will attempt to answer your questions as best I can.

Windows Server 2003 SP1 is supported on Windows Small Business Server 2003, but there are some known integration issues that are resolved in the Small Business Server SP1 (available within the next 60 days). With the Windows Server SP1 installed, you may encounter the known issues and our recommendation is to:

Be patient with the issue and wait for Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1
Un-install Windows Server 2003 SP1, and wait for Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP1, which includes Windows Server SP1
Furthermore, a KB Article will be written to further address these issues, I will post it to the public newsgroup when it is available.

In the mean time here is the short list of the known issues:

Remote Access Wizard hangs when creating the connection manager package
Small Business Server Change IP tool will fail
o Change IP tool will continue to fail after un-install of WS SP1
o Workaround: Remove WS SP1, disable DHCP, re-run CEICW
Power Users retain SharePoint Administration privileges even after the role is changed to Reader
Re-Install of Exchange fails
Re-Install of Intranet component fails
Fax Services won't start and the Fax Configuration Wizard cannot be run after un-installing Windows Server SP1
DHCP service may not start after a restore
Please let me know if you have any further questions

the known issues are not things that effect us. i think *hope* we'll be ok.

thanks

[Norman_21]

So are you going to uninstall 2003 SP1 and install SBS 2003 SP1 in the near future?

[Matthew Clarke]

i think i will leave it on, and periodically check the logs for errors.

Brother Matt,

Do me a favour, if you ever get any error because of the 2003 SP1, please post here and I'll let Microsoft know about it.
In fact, it'll be added to the known issues that you saw on that site. Those guys are Microsoft MVPs!

I have SBS2003 Standard Edition in my personal Server at home and it's a lot of fun!

Take care
Latif
