WSUS: How to change the location where WSUS stores
updates locally
Have you ever found
yourself in a situation where the \Content volume on your WSUS server is
running out of space but you had no idea how to change where the updates are
stored locally? Or maybe the disk where updates are stored fails and the
replacement disk uses a new drive letter? Either way, knowing how to
change the location where WSUS stores updates locally is something that will
likely come in handy sooner or later and here's how to do it:
You accomplish this
move with the movecontent command of WSUSutil.exe, a command-line tool that is
copied to the file system of the WSUS server during WSUS Setup. By default,
Setup copies WSUSutil.exe to the following location:
WSUSInstallationDrive:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows
Server Update Services\Tools
You must be a member
of the local Administrators group on the WSUS server to use the movecontent
command of WSUSutil.exe, and these operations can only be run from the WSUS
server itself which must be a 32-bit platform. You must also create the
new path for local WSUS update storage prior to using WSUSutil.exe.
The movecontent
command takes an optional -skipcopy parameter which enables you to change the
location of local WSUS update storage without copying any files. To change the
location of local WSUS update storage complete the following steps:
1. Click Start, and
then click Run.
2. In the Open box,
type cmd, and then click OK.
3. At the command
prompt, navigate to the directory that contains WSUSutil.exe.
4. Type the
following, and then press ENTER:
wsusutil.exe movecontent contentpath logfile
[-skipcopy]
For example, if
D:\WSUS1 is the new path for local WSUS update storage, D:\move.log is the path
to the log file, and you wanted to copy the old files to the new location, you
would type:
wsusutil.exe movecontent D:\WSUS1\ D:\move.log
