WSUS server database errror

-

i've got problem wsus server.

it stopped synchronising updates microsoft updates server. found out reason must database.

wsus using sql server 2005 express edition , database hit limit. dont know why shomeone set sus because changed job , managing wsus server ofphanted previous admin responsibility.

my company has 1000 client computers - surprise me wsus database has risen shuch size!!!

1)what best task should now. migrate server wid database cant find instruction how can it. (i quite rookie ms database administrator - before had experience oracle databases).

2)other option migrate sql server 2008 r2 has 10gb capacity limit, found  that not recommended ??

anyway need make backup of susdb , not sure how.

3)is enough stop sql services , copy susdb.mdf, susdb.ldf files ?

could me answering problems?

>>other option migrate sql server 2008 r2 has 10gb capacity limit, found  that not recommended ??<<

nope, sql 2008 r2 has no restrictions -   sql server express 2008 r2 has database size limitation of 10 gb.

>>what cals need 1 wsus server or every connecting client?<<

not strong in licensing, afaik:

if sql server licensed per-processor licensing, no  licensing required; if not wsus clients must have sql cal.

>>what best task should now. migrate server wid database cant find instruction how can it. (i quite rookie ms database administrator - before had experience oracle databases). <<

you can try following (i never tested scenario):

  • backup susdb.mdf, susdb_log.ldf 
  • uninstall wsus removing database saving content
  • install wsus wid database
  • stop update services
  • from sql management studio conenct wid (\\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query) , detach existing database
  • move backed susdb.mdf, susdb_log.ldf  "your directory"
  • from management studio attach susdb.mdf

or easy way

install new wsus wid, make replica of existing synchronize (all updates, approves , groups synchronize)

after synchronization make new wsus upstream, assigned clients on via gp, , remove old wsus.
