As for the "how many documents and lists and whatevers" question, the answer is "as many as you want so long as you don't slam into the 4gb limit. I'd also note that if you start getting near that 4gb limit, you can always upgrade to full-blown SQL server with very minimal pain so it is a decent place to start.
The real place it falls down is management tools ie--backup , but you can script that from the command line pretty effectively. This database is not the same as SQL Express and there's two key differences.

Alex Angas It is designed in such a way that you are not allowed to connect to and use this particular database service for non-Microsoft products.
By default, installing either WSUS 3. It is quite confusing to manage this SQL Server instance as it does not appear as a SQL Server service nor are there management tools included with the products. You then register this instance using Named Pipes as this is the only configuration for connectivity. Use this server name when you register this instance:. This tool will be installed, by default, on this directory:. To connect to the database instance, you need to run the sqlcmd.
You can then run your administrative T-SQL scripts once connected to this database instance. While these are possible reasons to administer the Windows Internal Database , it is not recommended to do anything beyond performing backups, moving or shrinking the database files.
A message saying that the DB is not accessible should appear. Move the database files to the new drive or location where you are planning to keep it. Back to the instance connection.
Click OK to attach it again. Your database should be working now on the new location. You are now connected to Internal Database instance. Even though you now know how to access the internal WSUS database, I would recommend to migrate this internal database to a SQL Server database if you have the chance, and remember that you can use the light and free version of Microsoft database engine: SQL Server Express Edition or version.

Tagged as: WSUS. Thanks for putting this out there! The MS Management Studio worked real well in this case! I found Process w3wp. When you Kill the process it restarts, but I tricked it and removed database before process could restart.
Worked for me. I just wanted to thank you for the post, it helped me out. Great post. This worked like a charm for me as well and I have been struggling using other methods for some time! Much appreciated. I very much so appreciate your efforts! As a complete novice, I found your instructions, concise and easy to follow.
This is good information. Which download are you refering to? Is there anyone that looks at these issues, this is insane just to have to move a file. Good to know that, thanks for the input. Have you check the guide to migrate de database from Internal to SQL?
