More a general question than for 1 specific instance
On SBS2008/2011 servers, where WinUpdate Services has NEVER been maintained ....
Win Update services stops working properly,workstations no longer get updates, WSUS folder gets huge (70G+)
any attempt to use the cleanup tool or remove unwanted updates will throw out the "reset server node" timeout error
Obviously a mess . From the research Ive done, fixing unmaintained WSUS isnt going to be easy. Freeing up all that space used by WSUS is often a priority as often the HD is lacking free space.
So, change policies so Workstations download updates direct from MS, just to get that working , set Update services to not
store updates on the server (to stop WSUS content folder getting any larger)
Any suggestions as to cleaning up WSUS , when its a bit of a mess ?
