WUS Handler and installing Windows update patches
Jared
come down and via SMS it took 1.15hours. I opened the patch log, recorded the
KB patches and went to the patch directory on the SMS server and was able to
run the patches on my test system in less than 5 minutes. I noticed in the
PatchInstall.log file that between each patch the system was checking for
necessary disk space as you will see below:

I see the calls for Duration=7 and I assume it's taking 7 minutes. If the
patch normally only takes 30 seconds, why would it wait 7 full minutes before
continuing? So his 8 patches are setup for 7min a piece, so there's 56minutes
plus this searching for disk space in between. I've looked on the web and
found many other PatchInstall.log files and none of them look like this. Any
help would be appriciated. Oh, and for the Duration=7, is that by chance a
default or would he be setting that?
Thanks!
Jared
