Hiya
I have used WSUS for about 2/3 years without much issue. Now I notice when I
synched that there were 12GB and 75 files of downloads - which seems a huge
amount.
So far it has taken three days and has only done 25%.
I am suspicous something is not right, as I have never seen such a huge
download requirement before.
Just wondering if this is something for me to be concered about, as it is
like it has lost all it's history and started again. My main concern if it
pushed ALL updates to the clients then they would all take a few hours to
install, and amy interferre with business.
TIA
Lewej

Hello Lewej,

Forgot one important point, we use only English language updates.

Hi Meinolf
Thanks for replying. No - those things look like they should. Nice idea
though.
Thanks

Re: WSUS 12GB to download!!

Hi
I was running build 2.0.0.2620 - which I presume is V2. Or could it have
updated itself to V3 and be starting over?!!
Thanks

Re: WSUS 12GB to download!!

Hi Meinolf
Well, even though the computer options say only download English, looking at
the update content ir does seem to be doing some foreing language stuff.
Hmmm..not sure why, but thanks

Hello Lewej,

Even if you choose English, a lot of patches/updates are multilanguage.

Re: WSUS 12GB to download!!

Hello Lewej,

An update is not done automatically normally, especially for V3 you need
some additional installs that by default are not there. But also i would
better post to:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services
