Final answer:

The command used to move the WSUS update files to a new location is 'wsusutil.exe movecontent'. This is typically followed by the new content path and a path for the log file. It is important that the new storage location has sufficient space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The command that can be used to move the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) update files location is wsusutil.exe movecontent. This command is run from the command prompt on the server where WSUS is installed. The typical syntax for this command is wsusutil.exe movecontent contentpath logfile, where contentpath is the new path for the WSUS content, and logfile is the path to the log file that recaps the actions carried out by the utility.

Prior to executing the wsusutil.exe movecontent command, it's essential to ensure that the new storage location has adequate space to accommodate the WSUS content and that the WSUS services are not in active use during the move. After completing the execution of the command, verify that the updates work properly through the WSUS administration console to ensure that the move was successful.
