Error installing WSUS - The update could not be found. There may be a network connection issue.
Installing WSUS 3.0 SP2 on a new Windows Server 2008 R2 (via Add Roles console). WSUS role requires IIS 6, therefore Web Server (IIS) role is automatically added as well. After completing the wizard and clicking install, following error is displayed:
One or more of the following roles, role services, or features failed to install
Windows server update services - Installation failed.
The update cannot be found. There may be a network connection issue.
Problem was caused by a Group Policy entry:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Specify intranet Microsoft update service location
This was pointing to a now decommissioned old WSUS server, therefore setup couldn't download a required update.
The issue was fixed by setting above policy to Not Configured. After installation and setup were completed, this was changed to the new WSUS server address.
Windows Update error 800B0001

Windows could not search for new updates.

Windows Update encouraged an unknown error
This only affected updates from WSUS server. Checking updates directly from Microsoft Update worked fine.
Issue was resolved by installing Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 patch KB2720211.

Removing Additional Exchange Mailboxes from Outlook
This issue occurred while I was testing Consumer Preview version of Outlook 2013. It could have been complete coincidence as issue seems to be caused by Exchange 2010 rather than Outlook.
Gave myself Full Access Permissions to couple of mailboxes and opened them as usual via Account Properties > Advanced > Advanced > Add...
After required work was completed used the same method to close them. To my surprise both mailboxes were still attached to the Outlook.
I couldn't find a way to remove them. Adding and removing them again wouldn't make any difference. Tried Outlook 2010 (Office Preview 2013 can co-exist with previous versions) - situation was exactly the same.
Next step was to create a new Outlook profile. Unfortunately this didn't resolve the issue either. Attached mailboxes were still there.
Problem was sort of fixed removing myself from Full Access Permissions list on the affected mailboxes. This can be done via Exchange Management Console > Recipient Configuration > Mailbox > right click on affected mailbox > Manage Full Access Permission
