A. No. The synchronization protocol in WSUS is not compatible with SUS. Q. Does WSUS effectively replace the need for SMS 2003 Software Updates features? A. Not necessarily. There are still certain capabilities that SMS 2003 Software Updates provides that WSUS does not provide. Your choice of WSUS vs SMS depends upon what your needs and expectations are as far as maintaining a software update process. Compare feature capabilities using product documentation for more information and clarification. Here’s a link with some comparisons http://www.directionsonmicrosoft.com/sample/DOMIS/update/2005/02feb/0205fsuttc_ch.
