In a reply to me on Friday, July 10, 2009 04:17 PM in the thread "WSUS synch
problem" in this forum, MSMVP Lawrence Garvin said "Interesting. In fact,
the Windows Internal Database engine does not contain the database size or
memory utilization limits that are imposed upon a SQL Express installation.
As relates to WSUS, the Windows Internal Database is the better engine to
use."

Yes, you can migrate from WID to SQL. IIRC, you detach the database from WID
and attach it SQL and change a pointer in WSUS (possibly a regedit).
Detailed directions can be found by a web search. Look for a KB or Microsoft
blog post.
