I'm constantly hanging out between 30 and 60 gigs. I think the difference between the big ones and the little ones is auto-approving updates and downloading approved updates. I have a couple of machines in a wsus test group that I auto-approve all critical updates. They don't get all the updates of course, but since they are all approved whether needed or not, they get downloaded. Every month I run the server cleanup wizard and it deletes 10-20 gigs.

Something's wrong. I've got XP + Vista + Windows Server 2003 + Windows Server 2008 + Exchange + SQL Server + Defender - all updates and SPs (no drivers) and I'm hovering around 10GB. I do regularly run the cleanup wizard, and I don't approve updates for ia64. There were some .NET SPs that you got every language version of (because they could all be installed on English versions of Windows). Maybe a few things like that?

That's what I figured. I'm just going to rebuild it. It's an OLD build. It's down now, it's an ESX VM, so I'm copying it and expanding the C drive, but I think the only products I have selected are things like XP, Vista, and Windows 7 updates, Office 2003, and 2007. I think I have some misc things like the .net stuff and whatnot, but no server stuff. Something is obviously messed up it sounds like. Thanks guys.
