In my recent post, I showed how to enable WSUS cleanup in ConfigMgr. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Configuration Manager connects to the WSUS server once every hour and configures the WSUS server with the settings that are defined for the software update point in the Configuration Manager console. If you ask me which one is the best option among WSUS and Configuration Manager, I would say Configuration Manager.Ĭonfiguration Manager requires WSUS and they both work together very well. Organizations that haven’t got Configuration Manager installed rely on WSUS to deploy updates. There are different ways to deploy and manage software updates and most organizations either use Standalone WSUS or Configuration Manager.
Well the solution to this problem is using the WSUS server cleanup wizard to clean your old, expired and superseded updates. Another workaround would be to use some scripts that does the WSUS cleanup. You may think of increasing the disk space but how long are you do this same thing. However as months pass by, you may notice the drive consuming too much space on the WSUS server and sometimes drive becomes full. When you start to deploy updates to all computers using WSUS, initially it’s all good.
WSUS is a Windows Server feature to manage and deploy updates to computers. With WSUS server cleanup wizard you can cleanup or remove unnecessary updates from the WSUS server. In this post I will show you how to use WSUS server cleanup wizard to clean updates in your WSUS setup.
