How do I clean up an AUSST server?

Report · Aug 18, 2014

Hi Everyone,

I have successfully setup an AUSST server and it has been downloading and serving updates to our client machines. However, I am now starting to run out of space on the server. I have a 50 GB partition setup for this and there is only 1 GB left. I know I have some time, but I would like to remove all the old updates while I still can.

Does anyone know if there's a command line switch for the setup program that will delete all old updates?

If not, is it safe to manually delete all the older updates?

Also, I notice that there are many different languages that we simply do not need. Can these be deleted?

If I delete the languages we don't need, will they be re-downloaded during the next automatic synchronization?

How does AUSST know what to download? For example, let's say that we don't use Fireworks and it's not installed on any of our client machines. Does AUSST download these updates anyway?

If it does, this is a tremendous waste of storage space and there should be some way to control what is downloaded and when it can be safely removed.

I look forward to your response and thank you in advance,

Matthew Babich

Hi Matthew,

AUSST copies updates for all languages so that client machines connected to internal update server updates apps in desired language. You can visit the link below to find a way to delete all updates from internal update server.

Ashish,

Thank you for the link but I've read that documents several times and it doesn't say anything about cleaning out older updates.

If you are referring to running the FRESH switch which will delete all updates and re-sync, I'm concerned about that procedure. If I run that, won't it just download everything again?
