WSUS Issues

Was configuring WSUS on a Server 2016 VM for a customer recently and found the performance to be very sluggish and most of the time the client PCs would time-out and throw an error message when trying to check for updates.

After much digging on different forums I came across a fix that worked nicely:

Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click on Application Pools

Then Right-Click on your WsusPool instance and choose Advanced Settings

Scroll down to Private Memory Limit (KB) and change it from the default of 1843200 to 0 which means unlimited.

Then right-click and stop the WsusPool and then start it again.

Hope this works for you.

Unable to Extend Volume because the Windows Recovery Partition is in the way

The solution was to move the recovery partition.  This involves disabling it, deleting it, extending your partition as required, and then re-creating the recovery partition and enabling it. Here are the steps involved: Disable existing recovery partition: You will need to disable the existing Windows recovery partition. To do this, run this command from an admin command line/PowerShell:  reagentc /disable If you get the error message "REAGENTC.EXE: Operati...
