Why aren't your spoke WSUS servers updating from the hub WSUS server? And then
your clients update from the closest WSUS server?
Client1 ----> Spoke WSUS -----> Hub WSUS ----- internet -----> MU server
^
Client2 ----> Spoke WSUS ----------|
If that's the case, then only the hub WSUS server would ever use the internet
link. And it shouldn't be saturated for long.
Why do you think it's WSUS and not something else?
Cheers
Ken

I doubt it's wsus unless you just approved hundreds of patches. Last nights
downloads didn't amount to anything much..plus, wsus won't saturate an internet
connection...

Load started at 3:00am. That's when WSUS is set up to run downloads.
We have a hub and spoke for our WAN setup. We killed the HUB thinking the
spokes would cease but it appears
as if the spoke servers are still pushing downloads and bybassing the HUB
server to saturate the Internet link....

Maybe they are going else where to get windows updates, like the internet,
rather than your local wsus server? Or is someone just copying some large
files around your network? Are you seeing a lot of network traffic to your
wsus server, or just else where on your network?

Ok I have them stopped. But the load is still to high. Could the PC's still
be downloading even if WSUS and WWW is dead?

To stop WSUS updates I need to do the following:
1.)Stop WWW on WSUS server.
2.)Reboot workstations that have downloading icon in system tray.
Or is there more?
