Verify that the replication is successful

When the database replication finishes, you should verify that the replica on the Destination Server matches the database on the Source Server.

Note

Do not attempt to verify the replication until you verify that the Update Services database download finished.

Examine the number of files in the WSUSContent folder. The number of files in the %SYSTEMDRIVE%\WSUS\WSUSContent folder on the Destination Server should match the number of files in the %SYSTEMDRIVE%\WSUS\WSUSContent folder on the Source Server.

If the folder contents do not match, make sure that the file download is finished. If not, wait until the file download does finish, and then check again.
