You have to set a group policy on the machine that you want to get the updates. You can either do that in AD with a group policy or configure individule policies on each machine.

Hi <br />
<br />

Windows Software Update Services

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
