Had not maintained it for a while and clients were timing out getting patch metadata and asking for a retransmit...repeatedly. Performing the built-in WSUS maintenance twice fixed this. It can take a long time to run the first time. It took us 17 hours @ 22,000 clients and a dedicated SUP. Ivan Lindenfeld Jacksonville, Florida From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Corkill, Daniel Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 11:32 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] High network utilisation on site server This afternoon I've deployed the January updates to ~1400 systems and for about half an hour the site server was completely unreachable - not responding to pings, reports not working, admin console unresponsive, unable to RDP. When I log on to the console I can see that the network utilisation is completely maxed. It's not a big site but the site server has all the roles - nevertheless it has 4 cpus and 32gb ram. Would it be recommended to add another nic?
