A very interesting phenomenon I observed on a German-only WSUS server (but
perhaps flavored by its installation on an English SBS2003).
Synchronizing Win2003 product and Updates classification, I once again got
*both* packages for .NET Framework v2.0 (KB829019), but the English package
has a warning banner on the update that reads: "This update cannot be
installed because it, or an update it contains, is in a language that is not
supported by the server. Check your language settings on the Options page."
Now, it's interesting that the warning is present, but I would have expected
that the metadata didn't even appear.
But, this might also have happened because its an English language OS
synchronizing German only content. Yet, the banner appears *before* I've
approved the update, *before* any particular system has attempted to install
it, and golly gee whiz, since the SBS2003 WSUS server I'm testing this on
*IS* an English system, the update would be installable to that system!
I fear, the only real way to properly test this is to install a German
language edition of Win2003, install WSUS on that server, and sync German
updates. (Unfortunately, my German language skills are so rusty -- I studied
German for two years in college, and two years before that in high school --
I probably couldn't successfully complete the test scenario.)
Still, at that point, you'd either get one or both packages, and the English
language update, apparently, *cannot* be approved on a system syncing only
German updates.
However, WSUS will not let me approve the update!!!
In light of this information, I'm going to drop back, and rethink the
original post, and see if I have any new ideas.
