    Is there any thought to changing the name of Windows 7 Server to Windows 2008 R2 in the Products listed in the Software Update Point configuration?

    This name comes by default with catalog, customizing this name may cause sync issues and many more. If future WSUS team may change this name to Windows 2008 R2

    I noticed, looking into WSUS behind my SUP, Windows 2008 R2 is listed there, not Windows 7 Server. I don't plan on customizing the name in SCCM, I was just wondering if there was any thought, by Microsoft, to make the change themselves.

    Hi,

    What's the version of WSUS you used for your SUP?

    WSUS 3.0 SP1 or SP2?

    If you used SP1, please upgrade it to SP2

    Download details: Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2

    I have WSUS 3.0 SP2. WSUS shows Windows 2008 Server R2 however the SCCM side still sees Windows 7 server.

    I have 3 SCCM environments with different results re this issue:

    PROD ENV
    Server 2003 SP2 x86, SCCM SP2 & R2, remote SQL 2005 db, WSUS 3.0 SP2 x86
    WSUS shows "Windows Server 2008 R2"
    SCCM SUP shows "Windows 7 Server"

    TEST ENV
    Server 2003 SP2 x86, SCCM SP2 & R2, local SQL 2005 db, WSUS 3.0 SP2 x86
    WSUS shows "Windows Server 2008 R2"
    SCCM SUP shows "Windows 7 Server"

    DEV ENV
    Server 2008 SP2 x64, SCCM SP2 & R2, remote SQL 2008 db, WSUS 3.0 SP2 x64
    WSUS shows "Windows Server 2008 R2"
    SCCM SUP shows "Windows Server 2008 R2"

    Would be keen to get this resolved - not sure if there is a less intrusive approach than the below proposed solution?
