New categories appearing on WSUS

Hello folks!

 

Today you will see two new product categories in your WSUS Synchronization Options dialogs: Windows Server 2008 Server Manager – Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Dynamic Installer and Windows Server 2008 Server Manager Dynamic Installer.

Windows Server 2008 Server Manager Dynamic Installer category enables Windows Server 2008 Server Manager to dynamically discover when new server roles are available.

Windows Server 2008 Server Manager – Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) Dynamic Installer category allows Windows Server 2008 Server Manager to install the current version of the WSUS, currently WSUS 3.0 SP1, when the update management role is selected for install. Once WSUS is installed, the WSUS server can be managed from within Server Manager experience.

More information on updates associated with these categories can be found at: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/940518 - “An update is available that integrates Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 into Server Manager in Windows Server 2008” and https://support.microsoft.com/kb/948014/en-us -“Description of the Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 package

Thank you!
