I would assume it would work the same since what I did was basic SQL Server settings. What error(s) do you get when starting the MMC? I don’t know about SQL 2005 64-bit.

Is 64bit SQL 2005 supported on the Backend??? I've tried setting up WSUS is such a environment with no luck at all. The installation will go fine, but starting the MMC will fail.

The username will be in the form of <em>DomainName\ServerName$</em> (note the dollar sign at the end). So, if your domain name is <strong>Home</strong> and your server name is <strong>WSUS</strong>, the new user will be <strong>Home\WSUS$</strong>. Assign the WSUS database as that user's (Home\WSUS$) default database as well as mapping the user to the WSUS database and assigning rights (usually DBO). Hope that helps.
