    Thanks for the hint, but tried again different command without success:

    I tried this:

    xcopy to x:\wsus

    wsusutil movecontent x:\wsus c:\temp\wsusmove.log -skipfile or
    wsusutil movecontent x:\wsus \\UNC-Path c:\temp\wsusmove.log -skipfile or without -skipfile and now this message:

    Fatal Error: You must specify an existing local directory on an NTFS partition as an absolute path or specify an existing UNC path for the new content file
    location

    Any more ideas ?

    You can not move the Content to a net drive. It must be an local drive.

    Many thanks for your feedback. This was also my impression, but I read some articles about when you have linux you were able to move it so I thought, maybe there is an unofficial way how to...

    Don't think it can be working, maybe its a feature for the next WSUS.
    ;) Whats the reason for moving the Content? No more space? Do you use
    the Cleanup Wizard? Decline updates, run the Cleanup Wizard and after
    30 days run the Wizard again.
