After reducing the approved updates the error with 'OutOfMemoryException‘ is finally gone but I have still synch. problem on all 18 downstream servers though after several times of synchronization. Only 2 downstream server can synchronize now.
I cannot reduce the approved updates anymore. All approved updates have already ‘needed’ status.
Unapproved: 3397
Approved: 1133
Declined: 1091
Computer groups: 58
The synchronization results are:
“Unknown” after 90% synch.
"Failed" with sqlexcetion: Timeout expired
I find in many issues with the error “could not delete target group ….”
Like here:
