Monitor the use of disk space

It is important that you consider the usage of disk space when you are monitoring the status of Update Services. Over time, the location where updates are downloaded and stored may become full. If the storage location becomes full, Update Services cannot continue to download new updates as they are released.

In addition, if updates are stored on the same drive as the Exchange Server 2003 mail store and the disk becomes full, the Exchange store goes offline and Exchange Server 2003 stops operating normally.

For these reasons, you should regularly monitor the amount of free disk space that is available where the updates are stored. You can view the amount of free disk space on all drives on the computer that is running Windows SBS. Look in the Server Performance Report under Performance Summary.
