Hello,<\/p>\n
I’ve read about the MS global WSUS issue last week and I’m looking for guidance with an existing system that is not domain connected. This instance has about 1,000 client PC’s and suddenly I cannot get anything to update (clients nor WSUS sync). The server is super slow at sync. I haven’t seen it complete and it has run days.<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting I see things are running. Haven’t found any services stopped. Windows update on the server are up to date.<\/p>\n
Adamj Clean-WSUS script is looking very blank/bleak:<\/p>\n
