Too many services have too many issues on the same box. When I installed
SUS on my homegrown, everything was alright for about 2-3 months. Then, all
of a sudden, after a while, the webadministration for SUS dies. However, I
can still tell that the service still works. For example. SUS is
configured to automatically deploy fixes that were previously approved. Not
being able to approve new fixes, a month or so ago, I recovered new fixes
from the SUS server. WTF. How can I get the web interface back. I've
tried uninstalling and reinstalling the services. I think there is
something wrong with the ACL on the directory to where it installs and
haven't been able to figure it out for the life of me.

Help the Securely Waning,

Posting the details or error messages you're receiving would help.

Also, I believe there's a newsgroup for SUS. www.susserver.com might
be helpful as well, there's a forum there I believe. Searching
www.google.com and www.google.com/advanced_group_search for your error
messages might help as well.

Did you [or SUS] by any chance install one of the last patches for
Exchange / OWA on the SUS server? That makes changes to your ASP
files, read the documentation for details.

If it's a problem with ACLs, the error message you're getting should
plainly tell you that. Also, enabling file auditing would help you
determine what ACL is missing from what file and which user:

http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#auditing

Filemon free from www.sysinternals.com might help here as well, but I
recommend auditing.
