Does Windows SBS 2003 R2 include a way to manage software patches and updates?
Windows SBS 2003 R2 includes Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), which provides patch and update management for your desktops and servers running Microsoft software. Patches are downloaded once, stored on your server, and then pushed out to other computers on your network. Each day, you receive a report showing you your software is up-to-date or detailing steps you need to make your computers more secure. For customers running Windows SBS 2003, you can download and install WSUS from the Microsoft Web site and maintain your network. However, the download does not include the configuration wizards and reporting services found only in Windows SBS 2003 R2.
