"Something went wrong, unable to detect SQL details from registry"

[7MinSec]

Hello,

I'm trying to play with SharpWSUS in my lab before trying at a client site pentest. I have WSUS deployed on a test server, and a GPO pushed out to all clients that hooks them to the WSUS server to get updates. Whenever I run SharpWSUS inspect I get:

Something went wrong, unable to detect SQL details from registry

...followed by an unhandled SharpWSUS exception (I can send details if need be).

I haven't admin'd WSUS for forever and a day. So I'm wondering if this is an error that literally means I'm not using SQL, as if I'm understanding this article correctly, WSUS can use an internal database or be fully baked into SQL (which I haven't configured).

I'm going to close for now. I get this error whether I run on my WSUS server or a client. I'm thinking this needs a SQL backend to run, but please let me know if I'm wrong.
