Hi, on my WSUS server, the DB disk is continuously filling up, even when the WSUS service is at 0% CPU use and no network trafic. Is there a reason ?

Are you performing the proper WSUS maintenance including but not limited to running the Server Cleanup Wizard (SCW), declining superseded updates, running the SQL Indexing script, etc.?

Do you have auto-approvals turned on? Look at your sync history - did a large number of updates come in recently?

    Hi Adam, Yes I've done all that, cleanup etc... filling continue...
    I also used the PS script WAM from AJ Tek, great tool, for cleaning but the filling continue...
    I'm at 2.5TB for the DB... and I can add some TB, but when will this behaviour end ?
    Thanks for your help
