    Hi

    At present the majority of our servers are Windows Server 2003 R2.  I have started to implement WSUS installed on a Windows 2008 server.

    The problem I have is that within Products and Classifications Server 2003 R2 is not listed.  The updates that need applying do not list Server 2003 R2 in the required operating system.

    Does Server 2003 and Server 2003 R2 share the same updates or is Server 2003 R2 not supported via WSUS?

    Could some body please help as we've had a security breach and part of our response is to ensure all servers are fully patched

    Thanks in advance

    There is no product category for "Windows Server 2003 R2".

    In the case of WS2003, the "R2" was merely a set of supplemental technologies shipped on Disc 2. The operating systems are identical, and all updates come from the same category.
