    Hi

    I've just recently started using WSUS 3.0 and want to move my WSUScontent folder as the C: drive is full.

    I'm using the following command

    C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>WSUSUtil.exe movecontent J:\WSUS J:\move.log

    but get the following message

    Content location is being moved.  Please do not stop this program.
    Fatal Error: The WSUS synchronization service <WsusService> cannon be stopped.

    But I've checked and the Updates service is running, I've done a restart of the service and tried again to no luck.

    Two folders are created J:\WSUS\UpdateServicesPackages and J:\WSUS\WsusContent but are empty and the log file reports the following

    Unable to move content at this time: a configuration reset process is still n progress, please make sure the WsusService is running.

    I'm hoping someone has seen this and can help.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Open IIS console and check if content directory is missing. If so, try to recreate it manually and set the local path to c:\wsus\wsuscontent. Then, run wsusutil again to see if it works.

    BTW, this is a forum for SCE related issue. If the problem still remain, I recommend you refer to WSUS forum, which would be more relevant for your question.

    Hi

    Content directory is in the IIS console.

    Will move this to the WSUS forum, apologies for posting incorrectly.

    Thanks

    You helped me regardless - I wasn't aware there was a command to move the content and DB. But thanks to you, I found it, and that command is working great for me! Thanks... for... indirectly helping me :)
