  Thank you for posting here.
  Use the WSUS (Version 10.0) feature role in Windows Server 2016 to provide update services for the following Windows Server 2003 family products:
    

  • Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition
  • Windows Server 2003
      

  For reference, the product screenshot:
  
    

  Hope the above can help you.

  Hey Yic,

  If the Server 2003 joined as Domain Controller (AD) is it possible?

  Hi, 
    

  I am sorry for the late reply.
  It is possible to use WSUS to manage updates on domain controllers. But you need to be aware that some GPO settings control the restart of the domain controller, so it's my advice to manage it by creating groups and putting each server type in a different group.
    

  For reference, for an introduction to Group Policy settings for automatic updates, read this article: "Configure Group Policy Settings for Automatic Updates".
    

  Hope the above can help you.
    

  Regards,
  Yic
