Question : Why is the WSUS database growing to almost 4 GB?

Windows Server 2003 SP 2, running WSUS version 3. The C:\ drive on this server is small and running out of room. Our WSUS database is growing large, almost 4GB. Is there anyway to shrink this file down? It's located at C:\WsusDatabase\SUSDB.mdf. I've already ran the WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer : Why is the WSUS database growing to almost 4 GB?

It's growing because it holds information on all patches available. You'll need to add disk space and move the database. Here's how to do it:
