The problem is configuring it so that you don't get rapid and excessive expansion of required storage, and this is no mean feat. Even after following many different guidelines offered here on Spiceworks, and having a script that ran periodically to "clean up" unnecessary data, I still had storage requirements that I simply could not host. My solution was to abandon WSUS entirely. The last time marks the 5th time I attempted to deploy WSUS without problems and I never could keep it from overwhelming my storage.
Why would Microsoft foist a product on us free though it be that eventually will require over GIGS!!!! Sure, I can disable all but critical updates, but then what's the point?? It ought to be configured to delete installer files that have not been accessed in x number of days. If a patch is needed later, it can always be re-downloaded. Instead it keeps patches in perpetuity forcing us to run scripts to "clean it up". Beware however, getting your workstations to revert to using the Microsoft sources for updates is almost as much hell as getting everything to work in the first place.
Only a factory restore got them working again. Not necessarily a flame, but rather some advice and proof that your environment may not have been configured correctly. It ought to be configured that way out of the box as a default, then if people want to download every patch and driver known to man, it ought to have some way of quantifying how much storage will be needed over the course of time not exact of course but a good estimate. And I did follow your advice. You have one of the best writeups out there.
Simply doing a factory restore of Windows 7 or 10 PC and then pulling down the updates from the local WSUS server is of course enough to reload all the stuff your script cleaned up!
This toolkit is reasonably priced and is super effective at keeping WSUS running smooth, cutting hours out of my monthly workload.
It's great. Minimal maintenance, and does what is supposed to be done. First we need to free up some space by deleting redundant data. WSUS logs everything it does. Over time, this can eat a lot of space in the database with surprisingly few workstations. If you are concerned, and have the means, it would be prudent to back this file up first. To put that another way: This worked for me, your mileage may vary. This is a slow step which you may want to run overnight.
Where data has been deleted from the database, this will not be reflected in the file size until the file is shrunk. It is now effectively full of holes and needs defragging. The next day, you should find you have a file on disk that is approximately the same size you told Management Studio to shrink it to.
Check you can connect to it from the WSUS admin tool. If you think the database is going to grow out of hand again quite quickly, consider moving it to somewhere better than your system drive.
