David, so I'm following this thread and the recommendations are straight forward, do you see the following services running on the wsus servers:
W3wp (how many instances) Wsusservice On the client do you see the wuauclt spawned from service? I would use pslist -t -s \\servername <file:///\\servername> to check all spawned services As for the BITS running services, to see the bits, try using the bitsadmin tool to see if there are any jobs still running. If you have the bitsadmin tool use the /cancel job switch. As everyone stated, once the service is down, there should not be any client connections requesting data, look at the logs on the client and the server end to verify there is no communication.

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.
