20gb... sure. *IF* your SUPs aren't doing anything else. We have offloaded most of our roles--especially client-facing roles, to other servers. You have everything on 1 server; so I wouldn't give iis 20gb for the wsuspool; unless maybe you have a 128gb of ram in there? then sure; give 70-90 to sql, and 20 to wsuspool, and the rest for whoever wants to fight over it.
You should decide based on your server roles, and what else that server is doing, how much to give to your wsuspool. You may want to give it more; but remember our SUP servers handle 20k clients each (100k per primary, and we have 4 SUPs, and that's ALL those servers do--they do nothing else). 20gb for you might be overkill. Heck 20gb for us was likely overkill, too. But remember these servers have 32gb of ram... and do nothing but exist to offer SUP stuff to clients via iis. Giving over 20gb just to the wsus pool made sense for us.

The current limit is ~1.8gb. According to this article: http://www.mnscug.org/blogs/sherry-kissinger/360-wsus-sup-servers-in-configmgr-2012-custom-configuration-settings the recommended limit is 20gb and the RapidFail setting should be set to false. I’m thinking I’ll go for an 8gb limit and set RapidFail to false. Is it just a case of changing these settings and then stopping and starting the WsusPool? Is this typically safe to perform during business hours? Daniel.

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.

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?
