WSUSUTIL.EXE is missing on my SBS Server 2008 R2
I am getting the following error when I try to install KB 2720211 ...
"the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer..."
Also, I can not find the file WSUSUTIL.EXE anywhere on the computer.
Can I download this file from somewhere? How can I get this file installed?

thanks a lot!!!
Actually that was the KB I was trying ... WSUS-KB2828185-amd64.exe will not install.
Still gives error... "The upgrade patch cannot be installed the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have correct upgrade patch.”

Also, the reason I wanted WSUSUTIL.EXE was to run this command...
wsusutil.exe deleteunneededrevisions
But now that I run it - it tells me that deleteunneededrevisions in an "unknown command". The following commands are known: help / checkhealth etc...

hmmm looks like I have WSUS 3.0 SP1.
Also I worked out how to open the "Windows Server Update Services" console.
But my server is not administered by this Console??? Arrrrgggghhh.
And Connect to Server has problems - I get cannot connect to 'MyServer'...
