Hyper-V server2012R2

WSUS role

3 tier archenteric

  • WSUS server role in Hyper_V instance
  • SQL2102 WSUS DB
  • WSUS Content on Shared server drive

I cannot complete Server Cleanup Wizard. I only chose "Unneeded Update Files" it starts and stalls then goes into disconnected mode.

WSUS SQL DB size is 65GB and I need to clean it up to reduce space.

What do I do?

Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012

    In looking at Unapproved updates, WSUS shows a total of 1,200,119 total updates in DB. I really need to do server cleanup. Any thoughts or is there a WSUS forum?
