SUSDB errors when it's trying to perform maintenance (SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER)
This started a few weeks ago - let it hang out for a bit to see if it was a random blip, but unfortunately this is still happening. I inherited this from someone who left the company abruptly, so...
Yes, this can happen if your wsus db has become bloated. Wizard can sometimes crash when performing the cleanup. You can initiate the same using PS cmdlets. Just break it down into small jobs across obsolete, expired etc instead of trying to perform cleanup all at once. There is a sccm maintenance task that you should enable going forward which will perform the regular cleanup for you.
Thats what started me down this path is the maintenance tasks were failing within SCCM itself and making my component status mad. but if i turned them off, i had no more errors.
i'm trying the manual cleanup now and will see if that'll trigger it to be happy here soon
this is where we're at now -
