I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running WSUS 3.0 SP2 and I have noticed that the performance when trying to pull up reports is just incredibly painful and sometimes it can't pull up a report on a machine at all. I ran the server cleanup and that
removed about 14GB worth of old unneeded updates, which freed up some space. I also tried the reindex the WSUS DB powershell script that some people suggested in other threads and it did make it a bit more responsive, but it hasn't completely eliminated
timeouts when opening reports on some clients. The WSUS DB is 12GB, which for ~25 clients sounds like an awful lot of space. I tried connecting to it with a local SQL Server instance to see if it was possible to shrink the DB, but that didn't make
much of a dent as there didn't appear to be much whitespace to remove. I started and stopped the Windows Internal Database as I have seen periodically that makes a difference in performance with MS SQL Server, but that didn't make a huge difference either.
The server only has 4GB of RAM. Would bumping it up to 8-16GB of RAM make much of a difference?
