The netstat -an on the Hub WSUS had hundreds of TCP connections to the WSUS
port.
I think the problem was that the GPO for the clients wasn't ever modified for
their Spokes but still had them pointing
either to the Hub or just in general to the MU server.
We will work on that today now that I have more than 12kps to utilize from the
T1 circuit....

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

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?
