Hi,
First of all, let me thank you for your fantastic software, extremely helpful.
Just a quick question for you. I have searched in the documentation, around the board and elsewhere on google, but did not find anything to help me.
I use wsus offline to update many different kind of Windows and office installations, in both French and English. My first download/update was pretty long, and my WSUS offline directory is close to 10gb. Everytime I run the Update Generator, I get a few updates, but the "Verifying digital file signatures for X (depending on which version of Windows/Office the update generator is working)" process at the end is extremely long. I was wondering if the process checks all the already downloaded files, or only the files that were downloaded during the current update. Also, I was wondering if I should skip this step by unchecking "Verify downloaded updates" in the update generator GUI without too much risk. I am not concerned about data integrity on my end. So, to summarize:
1. Is it normal for the digital file signatures verification to be extremely long based on my package (10gb of WinXP, Vista, 7, and Office 2000/XP/2007/2010 updates/packages in both French/English) during each update ?
2. Is it *generally" safe to skip this test ? I will do it from time to time, but I'd like to know if I can skip it when I simply make a minor update, and if it can cause any issue.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Regards,
Tommy
