10gb of WSUS datatabase moved

Mr.Triffid

There was 10gb of WSUS database to F partition because there Server C drive was full?

How would I go about doing this?
Thanks.

You need to drop the WSUS database, move the file to the new location and then re-attach it. Is the WSUS DB really 10GB though? You may (probably) have WSUS configured to store your update files locally (so each client machine downloads the updates off your server, rather than each one connecting individually to Microsoft over your internet connection) and that's the big, big space killer.

This [Technet Blog] shows you how to do it. Make sure you take a backup of the database before you start reconfiguring anything
