One for you IT boffins.
I have installed WSUS 3.0 on our domain and it seems to be working ok at the moment, i.e. my GPO's are working fine, the clients are going to their specified group in the WSUS console, the server is downloading updates etc... Since some of our machines haven't been updating automatically in years, the WSUS console has downloaded circa 2,500 updates already for various MS products, and once I have approved these updates for install they take a lifetime to install to the clients. My last batch of PC's that I rolled these updates out to are all on 99% in the installed/not applicable section and at most they only need 15 more updates to reach 100%. I approved these updates for these machines last week and yet they are still not quite complete, I know they had a lot of updates to install and filter out but should it really take this long initially? Is there a limit on how much a client can install at one go from 2,000+ updates, i.e. are they limited to 100 installs a day (since our GPO is configured to install them at midnight every day) or should they all be banged out in one go? I personally don't agree with the install time being midnight as most machines are turned off then, but my boss seems to think that it should work fine...
Can anyone shed some light on my WSUS setup and whether it is performing normally, considering it is a fairly new setup.
Cheers!
