Sometimes you just run out of disk space on your WSUS server and need to move your repository. Run your Command Prompt (cmd.exe) application, change to the C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools folder and run the following command:
wsusutil.exe movecontent <new drive and path> <logfile name>
example:
wsusutil.exe movecontent d:\wsus_repository c:\movelogfile.txt
Peace!
It is really amazing how technologically dependent our lives have become. Day in and day out, we are immersed within our digitally connected cocoons tapping out our thoughts, emotions, communiques with other cocoons, whether those other cocoons are friends, workers, enemies, or business acquaintances.
Most of us connect wirelessly and most of those, take the technology for granted. It either came ‘bundled’ with their high speed ISP modem or people made the conscious decision and purchased their own modem. If you fall into the second category of wireless modems/users, you should check out the following project: DD-WRT
What does DD-WRT do? In a nutshell, the wireless modem you use has an operating system. It is a mini-computer that routes your traffic through it’s wireless interface to your network. It boots up when you plug it in, loads the OS and runs your packets. Now what does DD-WRT do that is better than your ‘stock’ wireless modem’s operating system?
The question really becomes – what DOESN’T it do? The DD-WRT is a replacement of your stock FIRMWARE on your modem and it allows for really cool network enhancements and features that you would find on 500-800 dollar modem, like VLAN tagging, dual SSID broadcasting, SSH shell access to the modem.
Anyway – very cool project, full of geekdom – works best with LINKSYS/CISCO based wireless routers and is very robust!
Give it a shot!

It is 6:42 AM and my wife just rolled out of the driveway with my 9 year old son, Andrew. My eyes were still focusing to the waking hours of the day as we hugged, prayed and said our goodbyes. A storm passed by last night washing away the week as it added to an already palpable feeling of sadness.
My son is leaving.
Now, Andrew is 9 and he recently had his birthday at the end of January, and as a present, his grandparents decided to pay his way back east to visit his Aunt and Uncle and two cousins, who live in Maryland. Andrew is very adventuresome and jumped at the chance to fly with Grandpa and live with his cousins for a week. I, too, wanted to go, for a couple of reasons, most of which are selfish, but I could not. I just started a new job and taking 5 days off was not really an option when you have only been working for 2 months. I also don’t like to fly. There is something about being stuck in a tube at 35K feet. Not my idea of fun, although I did a stint back in High School when I was part of the Civil Air Patrol and I loved to fly then. I think it has something to do with growing up.
The sadness started last yesterday as it always creeps up towards the end of the work day. Why, you might ask? Because each and every day, I expense my collected love and affection for my children to help see me through the day. Towards the end of the day, I am feeling depleted and I rush home to be with them. Ryan and his inquisitive youthful ways. Erica with her bundle of energy that could light up San Francisco on a Saturday evening. And lastly, Andrew with his intellect and thoughtfulness towards everyone else. That sounds odd. I know.
Andrew has grown up into such a young man and it was only yesterday that he was born; or we helped him walk; or he started reading; or he started critically thinking. Every parent will think that their child is special – that is every parent who is worthy of having a full and wonderful relationship with their children. To me, there are no brighter, more exciting brood of offspring than those that Cynthia and I pro-created.
I joked, many years ago, that each child was like a software revision. Andrew was Baby 1.0 and was born in 2000. But we developers found new programming enhancements and created Baby 2.0 with Erica. And even more efficiencies and a merging of our previously successful projects of Baby 1.0 and 2.0 were code merged into Ryan in 2005 with Baby 3.0. Yes – I am a nerd and proud of it.
But to see your child grow and stretch and learn and to have them be so fulfilled in a happy and healthy relationship with their parents, so much so that the departure of a single child for one night (much less than the 7 Andrew will be on), has such an impact is a true testament to our love; of our relationship.
I thank GOD every day for my blessings in life. Cyn and I have good jobs. We have a great support system with her father and mother. We do good things for our community and for our family. We experience the fullness of a good relationship with GOD and with our kids.
Father in heaven – watch over my son and father as they journey. May you make their journey filled with sights and wonders and may you walk with them, fly with them, and be with them and return them both safe to us at journey’s end. Amen.
I should be happy… but the sadness is here now. It covers me like a blanket. I think I will go back to bed and pull the sadness over my head and just drift off.
