Guest Lewej Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 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

Guest Lewej Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 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?!!

Guest Lewej Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 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 Lewej "Meinolf Weber" wrote: > Hello Lewej, > > Check your seclection list and the languages choosen, maybe another one changed > something. > > Best regards > > Meinolf Weber > Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers > no rights. > ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups > ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > > > Hiya > > I have used WSUS for about 2/3 years without much issue.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 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 Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > Hi > I was running build 2.0.0.2620 - which I presume is V2.
