+# WSUS SUSDB Maintenance (Reindex + Update Stats)
+
+Keep **SUSDB** fast: rebuild/reorganize fragmented indexes, then run `sp_updatestats`. Run off-hours; back up first.
+
+## Requirements
+- Admin on the WSUS server.
+- Either **SqlServer** PowerShell module (`Install-Module SqlServer`) or **sqlcmd** tools.
+- WID instance uses the named pipe: `np:\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query`.
+
+## Quick start
+1) Save the SQL script as: `C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql` (same as in this repo/article).
+2) Run one of the following:
+
+```powershell
+# PowerShell (SqlServer module) — SQL Server instance
+Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance 'localhost' -Database 'SUSDB' `
+  -InputFile C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql -AbortOnError
+
+# PowerShell (SqlServer module) — WID (local only)
+Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance 'np:\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query' `
+  -Database 'SUSDB' -InputFile C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql -AbortOnError
+```
+
+```powershell
+# sqlcmd CLI — SQL Server
+sqlcmd -S localhost -d SUSDB -i C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql -b
+
+# sqlcmd CLI — WID (local only)
+sqlcmd -S np:\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query -d SUSDB -i C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql -b
+```
+
+## Schedule (optional)
+```powershell
+schtasks /Create /TN "WSUS DB Maintenance" ^
+  /TR "powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance 'np:\\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query' -Database SUSDB -InputFile C:\Scripts\WSUSDBMaintenance.sql -AbortOnError" ^
+  /SC MONTHLY /D 1 /ST 02:00 /RU "SYSTEM" /RL HIGHEST /F
+```
