That makes sense. I should also say that I did check the patches before
installing and tried to decline those that were clearly not applicable. I
have learned that any patch can potentially cause unintended consequences.

It is not necessarily the right technique to push out all patches. You have
to know which patches and where you are starting from.
One of the disadvantages of built-in patch management is that everyone
(myself included) wants WSUS to be smart enough to know what is needed and
it just isn't really there.. it needs the human brain.

I recently did my first synchronization for the Windows update service. I
removed all client computers to minimize the potential for trouble so it
just
updated the server. It still took hours as warned, and downloaded about
30
patches. I installed and re-booted, and the next day at 10pm it
synchronized
again and loaded another 20 patches which I installed, re-booting again.
I
don't understand why another 20 patches came so close to the first
synchronization, and I didn't want to re-boot the server every day, so I
temporarily turned off the auto-synching. Now when I go to the tab for
Update Services, it tells me it is not running, and I should either
reverse
the changes or reinstall Windows (which seems like a pretty dramatic
step).
My question is how to reverse the changes since it won't let me go into
the
"change update services settings" tab, giving me the same message as
above.
A second, and seemingly related issue is that our workstations have slowed
down considerably, and when I check the windows task manager processes,
the
svchost.exe is taking a large portion of memory. From reading other
threads,
it appears this is related to the windows update services too. How can I
fix
it? I would like to get all working normally before I add client
workstations to the WSUS.
Thanks
