I run WSUS on a W2k3 sp1 server w/msde. The templog.ldf file is 37GB. What does this file do and how can I reduce the size?
Thanks!
 
This is the transaction log for the temporary database. When ever the sus database is being reindexed this file is used.

The easyist way for me to help you shrink the file is to actually restart the server. This file is automatically deleted and recreated each time sql server starts.

If you know how to restart WSUS manually you can restart the sql services and the WSUS services.

If you can't bring the the system down let me know, and I'll give you the sql command to shrink the file manually.

Gee, it's that simple.....the reboot resolved it.

I know absolutely nothing about SQL, so I was not sure what to do. I always get great help in this forum.

Thank you very much!
 
No problem.
