Using WSUS on a Server with Limited Disk Space
Most administrators are under the assumption that you need a great deal of free disk space to take advantage of WSUS. This isn’t always the case.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) provides several advantages for any Windows network. One of the common misconceptions is that you need a significant amount of free disk space to use WSUS at all, but that’s not the case.
When installing WSUS, simply uncheck the Store Updates Locally checkbox. This will allow you to use WSUS to approve and manage the updates that are deployed to your workstations without storing them on the server itself. When a client needs to install updates, it will simply download them directly from Microsoft Update based upon what you have approved!
