WSUS3 and DCPROMO Problem

I recently installed WSUS3 and then decided I wanted my server to be a domain controller. This however broke the WSUS3 installation. I managed to find some work arounds and isolate that the DCPROMO command makes some rights changes to certain folder in IIS and others. The following articles helped me solve my problem with file system rights.

After I had changed the settings above I was still getting some errors about the database and it would appear that the Windows Internal Database would not start. I added all rights to the folder %SystemRoot%\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\DATA for the Network Service group.
