*Sigh* Yes I am aware it is free, but will it fix the issue and is it the only solution? AS I SAID, I am planning to move to 3.0, but I have other projects with higher priorities and have shelved the upgrade for now. If it is the only solution, that would change its priority, but I don't just install products in a production environment without planning. Thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We are running WSUS 2.0 SP1 (Build 2.0.0.2620) on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server. We have not moved to 3.0 yet, but plan to in the future. We have begun introducing Windows Server 2008 64 bit to our domain and I noticed today that they are identified in WSUS as 64-bit version of Windows Vista under Operating system.<br />
<br />
Since they share the same kernel I thought maybe this was just a mislabeling such as seeing &quot;Longhorn&quot; once in awhile, but it still seemed very odd since the patches are labeled Windows Server 2008. I checked the critical updates for 2008 and none have installed. I checked the servers and none are waiting to install. So I believe since it has misidentified the OS it does not know to send the right patches.<br />
<br />
I did not see much in Google and not sure if I might need a patch or something for this. Ideas?<br />

WSUS 2.0 identifies Windows 2008 64 bit servers as Vista

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

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).

Windows Server 2003

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
