Too many download Christophe MELIN 5/31/2007 9:14:00 AM First, sorry for my poor english Two weeks ago, I updated my WSUS 2.0 Server to WSUS 3.0. The WsusContent directory is about 30 Go. This server synchronizes with Microsoft Windows Update and gets english and french updates. Last week, I installed a second server with it own SQL Server Database. This server synchronizes with my first server (but this is not a replica). Initially, i configured it to download all updates in all languages from the first server. But it said that it had to download 150GB !!! So, I changed the config to download only update in english and french and now it says that it has one update (14MB) to download. The problem is now on my first server. It says that it has one update to download (130 GB). When I look at bitsadmin, all files currently downloading are from "Windows XP Service Pack 2". If i look at file information for this update, the total size is about 26 GB. Where does the difference come from ? and how can i stop this crazy download because the disk is going to be full before the end of the download !!!

[a] Stop the BITS service on your upstream server until you can perform step b. [b] Use the BITSADMIN utility to purge the download queue on the primary server. What happened is that when you configured the autonomous downstream server for *all* languages, even though your upstream server is configured for only English and French, it now needs to download *all* languages to service the requests from the downstream server. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
