Unfortunately, there is neither a wizard nor a graphical user interface GUI -based means of exporting and importing the metadata. However, Microsoft has provided a command line utility for performing this task. In the final section of this chapter, we walk through moving over the metadata. Change to the directories where the WSUS program files were copied.
Next, export the metadata using the following command: wsusutil export wsusex. This specifies the cabinet file and log file that the WSUS utility will create for import onto the other server see Figure Correct, or you could add a line to do this automatically. Error Occurred Exception Message: The specified string is invalid. Parameter name: ServerName at Microsoft. CreateUpdateServer Object[] args at Microsoft. Invoke Object target, Object[] arguments at System.
Great post used it on a new WSUS setup. Before doing your steps I was it over GB of updates. Redid the sever now only downloading 62 GB. Total Declined Updates: Does the script need to be run from the wsus server itself?
Any idea why I am getting the above exception when running the script. Your answer is highly appreciated. Run InterpretedFra me frame at System. Run Int erpretedFrame frame. Hi, I cannot run this script normally, after running it about mins it returns error, here is my result:.
I ran this script after stop wsusservice and reset wsus, then start wsusservice, make sure SQL server bit job was stabled. Hi, I was also getting the timeout 3 minutes at that step. Invoke String methodName, Object[] parameters at Microsoft. Ok guys i had the same problem with the dash in the hostname,and made it work with your suggestion to evek. Thanks for the great post. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
In SQL i have connction timeout set to 0. Did I do something wrong? When starting the service again I noticed the CPU climbing up but not for more than minutes. Run InterpretedFrame frame at System. Run InterpretedFrame frame You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
I opened powershell and copy the whole thing and change the computer name but noting seems to happen…the whole GB data keep downloading after i cleared up the WSUS content folder. Parameter name: ServerName.
Strange, that makes no sense since that value is already set on line 3. My plan was to set that option, run the cleanup wizard to purge the updates and then set it back to storing updates locally. Hi Jack, exactly what happened with me, no way to stop this, so just follow the post and get every cleaned up.
Clean out all the synchronization logs that have built up over time configurable, with the default keeping the last 14 days of logs.
Compress Update Revisions. Remove Obsolete Updates. Computer Object Cleanup configurable, with the default of deleting computer objects that have not synced within 30 days. Application Pool Memory Configuration to display the current private memory limit and easily set it to any configurable amount including 0 for unlimited. This is a manual execution only. Checks to see if you have a dirty database, and if you do, fixes it. Run the Server Cleanup Wizard. There are some prerequisites and instructions at the top of the script.
After installing the prerequisites and configuring the variables for your environment email settings only if you are accepting all the defaults , simply run:. If you wish to view or increase the Application Pool Memory Configuration, or run the Dirty Database Check, you must run it with the required switch. See Get-Help.
You need not change anything from the script. Running Windows Server R2. I was having the same problem related to the hostname inside the PowerShell script. I have managed to solve it using:. How do the script declining the updates take care of superseeded updates which is needed by some computers in my organization. Sorry for my inability to understand Powershell. I have understood that updates needed by a computer in my organisation should not be made inavailable.
I guess you can manually add those after running the script? Excellent post Trond! Thank you so much and Tom thanks for the tip. I was about to pull my hair out. This worked for me after several attempts with changing the first two lines to all sorts of stuff.
I updated the server name and domain name. Ran the script Got no feedback. Did not get any window saying what it did. Nothing in event viewer.
No change in the data store size. Resynced and ran server cleanup and no change. I ran the script in PS in admin mode. This is where it errors out.
