      Wondering how powerful/useful I can make our Zabbix server when I reinstall ready for our RasPi we have for the display TV.

      It can do a lot! I had mine done up with a network map and a slide show that rotated out various pages / items we monitored at my last job.

        I win! (f0 r3@lz this time)

        Found this in our Windstream T1 contract.

        Within "Addendum to customer service agreement"

        Auto Renewal:
        The following shall be inserted in lieu of sentence two 2) of CSA Section 1. Term and Renewal:
        Upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive month-to-moth terms (each, a "Renewal Term") until terminated or cancelled pursuant to its terms.

        The original sentence two: Upon expiration of the Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, (each, a "Renewal Term") until terminated or cancelled pursuant to its terms.

        I'm sure there will be other gotchas to find as I look at how to leave them, but discovering that made for a nice Monday morning. 🙂

        This is what your legal department is for. If you don't have one, whoever signed this acted as teh attorney and is responsible for reading it and noting these things.

          Fixing this:
          Qxenicj.png
          In case anyone is wondering how, here are the steps I use:

          • Do:
            Net stop wsusservice
            IISReset /Stop
            IISReset /Start
            Net start wsusservice
          • Then (if that fails):
            C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools>WsusUtil.exe postinstall

          Also, you can check the application pool for wsus and increase memory if you have a lot of clients. Details: https://www.404techsupport.com/2016/03/21/iis-wsus-private-memory/

          Also, while writing this, I fixed the reset server node error and my wsus is running fine now.

              It has to do with the database, as far as I can tell. There are several scripts out there for handling database cleanups, including one by Microsoft that's included with the application, and I've yet to find one that truly works perfectly.

                @Grey Yes, I usually use AdamJ's WSUS Cleaner script with powershell.

                  I've been using that one, too. It's not great. It consistently throws errors and over-use tends to bork the database, requiring the postinstall option to get things rolling again.

                    @EddieJennings Definitely document your experience with leaving them. Our contract is up Feb 2018 and Myself, our COO and our carrier services guy all want to leave them and port our numbers (and we have a LOT of numbers) out from them

                      Happens all the time with WID Database or SQL Server Express/Standard?
                      Because I wonder if using SQL Server would work better?

                        If you're willing to license a full SQL server for WSUS, then you'd probably be best off spending the money on a 3rd party solution, like ManageEngine, to handle patching.

                              @black3dynamite WID is a SQL Database too, that is why the PowerSHell scripts to cleanup usually use SQLCMD command as well.

                                          Those are very hard to come by in any datacenter.
