Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) with SSU files

If, despite the installed application, the SSU file does not start in the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSU file with the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) program, it is possible that Systems Management Server Hierarchy Manager Site Update requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSU file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SSU file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SSU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SSU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SSU file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSU file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSU files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SSU to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SSU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SSU to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSU file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
