Hi all,
I just got thrown into a project to repair a WSUS server that has a corrupted database:
- Master server plus 7 replicas (geographically spread across country)
- using included MSDE 2005
- db on master is currently 7.3gb in size
Last person who attempted to administer this turned on updates for all products and classifications, so is downloaded about
30,000 updates, after which the replicas could not sync.
I've tried all the included cleaning tools, and have also manually declined all the non-needed updates.
Is there a way to back up all the settings (computer groups, etc..), but install a new database?
my google-fu is failing me!
