Hi,
Last week (Wednesday) we were trying to do a export of the metadata from a WSUS instance we have connected to the Internet before we transfered it to a disconnected network. Unfortunitly it was not working and was giving us a 0KB cab file and a 100MB log file.
We decided that we should do a clean up, and instead of running the cleanup wizard, we ran the command wsusutil.exe reset.
On the Thursday, one of our admins tried to use WSUS, and as it was still going with the reset, he restarted the Update Services service and when it came back, it started doing the reset command all over again. We have since left it, and it is now Tuesday (5 days since the services was started again, 6 since the command was run) and it is still going.
Our database is about 6.3GB (On a seperate Database server - SQL 2008 R2), and our WsusContent folder is about 212GB (51,438 files) in size.
We have so many updates, as this data is imported to a number of disconnected systems that contain systems from Server 2000 all the way up to Server 2012, and most of the other Microsoft products. We do decline updates that are superseeded, but that is about all.
Is there anyway we can check on the progress of the reset command, or stop WSUS and then clear the flag that tells it to run again when the service is restarted?
Thanking you in advance.
Byron
