1. I recently saw an advisory that suggested that the entire WSUS app be run from c:\ "root". Is this correct? OR is it fine to simply run it in a "Program Files [Port]" subdir of c:\ ?
2. Another confusing website (not this forum) suggested that after a downloaded series of Updates (say for just Windows 8.1 with .net and Security Essentials that the entire "Client" folder should be deleted after the UpdateInstaller.exe is Run for that most recent "Generation".
Is this true? Should the entire Client folder (presumably having installed the generated updates) then be deleted until the next Updategeneration cycle is done? I did not do this yet, because I am unclear as to whether this Client folder contains key files for future Updates that the next UpdateGeneration will require.
Otherwise, if this entire Client folder can (and should) be deleted that the next UpdateGeneration will *recreate* this folder with all the necessary and "fresh" updates that Windows system tells UpdateInstaller that it *needs*.
So far, I have just run the Generator and then the Installer and assumed that the Client folder would be overwritten with the correct files and that needless files from last updates might be auto-deleted.
Can someone kindly clarify for me the "best practice"???
Thanks!!
