  2. Found a document in our CSA portal to use “wsusutil.exe csaimport ” but experienced issues with below messages – any thoughts
    Note: We have role base admin and access to servers, what level of SQL access is required ?

    ********** full error message*****************
    Fatal Error: Cannot open database “SUSDB” requested by the login. The login failed.
    Login failed for user ‘Domain\adminUser’.
