Re: moving WUS to another partition



Actually, you do not need to stop the WSUS services (or any other services
using any SQL Server/MSDE database) just to detach the database. This is
only necesary if you do not want anybody connected to the database while you
do a detach.

Hello Patrick,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you used wsusutil to move the WSUS
content to D drive and would like to know if we can delete WSUScontent in
C
drive. In addition, you also want to know if we can move WSUS database.

For the first problem, we can delete WSUScontent in C drive directly.
However, to ensure there will not be a problem, I suggest you rename
WSUScontent in C drive to WSUSold and monitor the situation for several
days. If WSUS works properly, let's then delete WSUSold.

For the second problem, we can perform following steps to move the
database:

Run CMD and then run following commands one by one:

net stop "update services"
net stop w3svc
osql -E -S %computername%\wsus -Q "exec sp_detach_db 'SUSDB'"
md d:\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS\data
move "C:\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS\Data\SUS*.*" d:\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS\data
osql -E -S %computername%\wsus -Q "exec sp_attach_db @dbname=N'SUSDB',
@filename1=N'd:\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS\data\SUSDB.mdf',
@filename2=N'd:\WSUS\MSSQL$WSUS\data\SUSDB_log.ldf'"
net start "update services"
net start w3svc

Please try the above steps at your earliest convenience. If you have any
concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Manfred Zhuang(MSFT)

| I am out of room on the tiny 20GB C: partition that Dell preinstalled
SBS
| 2003 on. I've moved all databases and shared folders to D: already. I
ran
| the wsusutil.exe command line utility with the movecontent option to
move
the
| WSUS content over to D:. According to the log, it all moved correctly,
but I
| have 2 questions.
| 1. It appeared to copy the data, not move it. It's still on
| C:WSUS\WSUScontent as well as D:\WSUS\WSUSconent. I'm afraid to delete
the
| C: copy. can I?
| 2. What about the C:\MSSQL$WSUS directory? I wish that would have been
| moved, too, but it's still sitting on C:. What can I do with that?
