WSUS (I'm sick of it's size).

From: Andrew M. Saucci, Jr. on 6 Jan 2010 22:08 One thing you could perhaps do is simply uninstall WSUS 2, delete any files it may leave behind, and start fresh with 3.0. The data from 2 isn't particularly valuable; it would simply be regenerated with WSUS 3. In reinstalling, you may be able to relocate the data files, but they would be "zeroed out" in any case. While I have my gripes with WSUS, it beats "every man for himself" Windows Update by far.

If I uninstalled WSUS v2 (which is on C:), and installed WSUS v3 (on D:), would that cause any issues? How would it know which workstations to keep up-to-date? On Jan 6, 10:08 pm, "Andrew M.
