Excellent i've been trying the beta and it's a big improvement over 2.0, performance is greatly improved and the MMC is much better then the web interface.

I completely agree. I think this is one of the better "free" products that MS has put out.

Build 318 is actually RC1. You can do an in-place upgrade to RTM when it releases."

I've installed it on all our WSUS 2.0 with SP1 servers but had quite a few problems.

Upgraded the master server without problems.
However on about 6 of the downstream servers I installed it, it said it was doing an upgrade but left most of WSUS 2.0 along with MSDE in place.
Had to manually remove WSUS 2.0 then re-install 3.0 which wouldn't pick up on existing downloads.

Other 2 downstreams upgraded perfectly.
Very strange.

Currently I have WSUS 2.0 installed on a server with MSDE. I will be installing 3.0 on a different server with SQL 2005. Anyone point me in the right direction with migrating from a WSUS 2.0 MSDE database on 1 server to a SQL 2005 database on a different server?
