Cleaning up WSUS

Pentium D 3.4GHz, 4GB RAM, RAID 1, SBS 2K3 R2 Premium with all the goodies.

The process was started at 15:30 yesterday. The WSUS SQL process has kept one core pinned (100%) since it was started. The I/O is huge!

Since this one is our SBS Box, we will leave it alone to see what happens ... it will be replaced by Swing shortly.

The other box we have this problem on is a similar setup at a client site, so we will be doing the process one at a time.

Definitely an item to add to the monthly management setup.

I actually run it quarterly and do them all at once. It only takes a few minutes if you do it regularly on a reasonable system (3 or 4 gb of memory).

If you have not done it in a long time it can take hours.

This is a slow proxcess. Been having the same problems with NO performance reports and was looking for a solution.

Sat at ~ 30% for hours yesterday until I rebooted as that was the only way I could kill it.

So today we're redoing this - one option checked at a time.

If this worked for Les it ought to work for anyone. <VBG>
