That's when WSUS is set up to run downloads. We have a hub and spoke for our WAN setup. We killed the HUB thinking the spokes would cease but it appears as if the spoke servers are still pushing downloads and bybassing the HUB server to saturate the Internet link.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ames Matthew B <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 11:12 AM Subject: RE: Stop WSUS updates Maybe they are going else where to get windows updates, like the internet, rather than your local wsus server? Or is someone just copying some large files around your network? Are you seeing a lot of network traffic to your wsus server, or just else where on your network? ________________________________ From: David W.
