Moving Contents from one WSUS server to Another

Hi Experts,

 We have installed WSUS sometime back.  It was working fine. Now since we installed project server on this our WSUS stopped working.  we then uninstalled WSUS from on the same server to different drive ( as previous drive was not having any space).

we now again have installed and configured WSUS on the same machine. Now I want to move the previous content folder to the new drive location.

could you please help to do this as I moved the WSUS content folderto new location but WSUS is not recognising this.
I do not want to download all the contents again and want to use previous store for this purpose.

please help !!

Let me know if you need more details .

It has been awhile since I have done this but i'm pretty sure you need to copy the folder that includes the WSUS catalog file and everything below it.  I don't remember the name off the top of my head.

Hi there take a look here.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/updatemanagement/evaluate/wsus-step3.mspx

wsusutil.exe movecontent D:\WSUS\ D:\move.log
where D:\WSUS is the new path for local WSUS update storage, and D:\move.log is the path to the log file.
