How to move the WsusContent folder (Windows server)

You may want to move the WsusContent folder is you're struggling for disk space.

You can use the command:

Code:
wsusutil movecontent d:\WSUS d:\temp\wsusmove.log

Assuming d: is the new drive with more space.

If you want to move the database that would need to be done in management studio, stop services, before and after too, detach, move, attach.

If it's an SBS server you can move it with the SBS Console wizard (see link below)
