Currently I have WSUS 2.0 server. We use AD group policies to have different
OU point to this server for updates. I am working on replacing it with new
server and install WSUS 3.0 instead. Should I just do refresh install? I have
computer groups on exising old server? Is there a way to carry these settings
(including the updates downloaded on existing server) over to new server with
WSUS 3.0? Any suggestion on proper way to do this? Thanks!

I did this two weeks ago.

Just install WSUS3 over your existing WSUS2.
It will detect the existing computer groups and database of
installed/declined updates and preserve them for you in WSUS3.

A fairly idiot-proof point-and-click operation if I managed it!
I had put it off for over a year because it used to be more complicated.

Hello RayRogers,

Normally you can just use the newest version WSUS 3 SP1 and upgrade the server.

Follow this here:

WSUS 3 SP1:
