Updates for SharePoint? "Steve Gould" <steven.gould at seattle.gov> 12/10/2008 3:13:46 PM We upgraded our WSUS server recently to 3.0. I could have sworn the pervious version had a product category for SharePoint. Should WSUS version 3.0 have a product category for WSS 3? Thanks for your help, Steve

No. WSS is considered an operating system component, and those updates are traditionally released in the "Windows Server" product group. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Lawrence.Garvin

Re: Updates for SharePoint? "Steve Gould" <steven.gould at seattle.gov> 12/10/2008 4:17:31 PM That would be fine with me, but no group exists in my list. So is it missing in MY WSUS farm or has the Microsoft WSUS team not yet built it in?

As I answered to your question: "Should [there be] a product category for WSS 3?" ==NO==. Do a SEARCH from "All Updates" on the keyword "Sharepoint". You'll find Security Updates, Critical Updates, Service Packs, and standard Updates for both WSSv2 and WSSv3. They're all contained in the "Windows Server 2003" product category -- assuming you have selected the product category "Windows Server 2003" for synchronization. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Lawrence.Garvin

Re: Updates for SharePoint? "Steve Gould" <steven.gould at seattle.gov> 12/10/2008 8:15:04 PM OK, NOW I understand what you were saying. I misunderstood before. What was confusing me most was that the SharePoint update was not showing as needed on my WSS servers. On re-reading the KB article it seems that the patch is for the full server and not WSS. No wonder... Thanks for your help, Steve "Lawrence Garvin (MVP)" <lawrence[ at ]news.postalias> wrote in message news:%2305NUlvWJHA.3920[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
