Switching from "Store files locally" to the individual machines

-

hey all,

wsus has been giving me lot of problems disk space. i've tried solutions i've seen here in order "unneeded updates" cleaning work never has. either way, sbs 2008 server i'm on over vm , can't provision more space. running low on space. 

so figured time reset. deleted wsuscontent folder contents , going wsusutil reset command. then, saw had option have individual computers retrieve update files. switched on that.

however, seems sqlsrvr.exe process running in background couple of days. i'm not sure it's doing, think has me not doing reset.

however, concern - don't want reset util download 50 gigs of updates, or i'll right started. i'll have more space because did go through , decline superseded updates want stop storing files locally together. have run wsustutil reset, , if know not download updates since option changed?

thanks!

my issue no matter tried, couldn't cleanup wizard work.

how many approved updates there on wsus server?
i don't need wsus @ have read uninstalling on sbs 2008 isn't wise thing do.
it's not wise thing because network needs server, need have centralized patch management.
my assumption switching microsoft update mean individual machines go out ms update own updates , nothing stored on wsus server. not correct?
understanding correct. files not stored on wsus server.
by sqlservr.exe running constantly, should've been more specific: it's doing in background, utilizing high amount of cpu. it's been doing day it's chugging reason.
it's trying figure out 50gb of files went trashed out under it.
did not right thing in order accomplish that?
mean deleting 50gb of files in ~\wsuscontent folder. nope, wasn't healthy thing do. you're going have suffer through system completing reconciliation result of change in configuration.

Edit Group Policy

i have pc has power settings pushed out default domain policy in ad environment. of course on local machine "some settings managed system adminstrator". the machine temporarily no longer in contact domain controller (it's been physically moved , not on same network now) can't updated gpo settings. i believe if edit local group policy won't make difference because of group policy processing , precedence. since it's temporary away ad network, still want use settings of ad user. is there somewhere in registry stored can edit power plan manually until can sync domain? (i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
