Had a situation where a customer had Exchange dismount the Information Store due to low disk space. Appears that WSUS 3.0 had consumed in excess of 100GB of space with content. My fault. Guess I had too many things products and update types selected.
Anyway, started the handy WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard to purge unused, unneeded, expired and superseded updates. The process of declining the various updates went very quickly. Then it started Deleted unused updates. That is pretty much where it stopped. It has been stuck there for almost an hour. It hasn't really hung. It is responsive...sort of. I can move the dialog box. WSUS still shows Running. There just doesn't seem to be anything actually HAPPENING.
SqlServer.exe process cranked up to about 25% CPU and stayed there. It's really busy doing something, but I don't see any improvement. None of the files have been deleted yet. We are still at low diskspace waiting for whatever is happening to finish happening.
I fired up the wizard on one of my test servers (WSUS 3.0 SP1). Behavior (or lack thereof) is pretty much identical. Is this normal? If it is, I think a better dialog that actually shows some sort of progress at doing SOMETHING would be helpful.
