So what updates get installed when you click 'yes' to updates during the SBS 2008 installer
The only updates at this time that get installed when you say 'yes' do that update screen as SBS 2008 gets installed are security updates. There are no installer updates offered up at this time. There are no installer only updates that I've seen period.
If there were such updates, I'd tell you to say yes to that window. But there is none at this time. And in fact in the release notes, there's a known issue where you'll get a bogus error message at the end of the install due to the fact that it couldn't properly get patches installed during that process.
So let's review why I say no:
1. There are no installer fixes included (at least at this time)
2. They are only security patches.
3. They take a long time to download.
4. They introduce risk during a time that you need to reduce risk.
On the Get important updates page of the Install Windows Small Business Server 2008 Wizard, if you choose Go online and get the most recent installation updates (recommended) and then click Next, the Installation finished page appears and informs you that the wizard encountered some non-critical issues. If you click View installation issues, the wizard displays the error “One or more updates cannot be installed.”
To resolve this issue, make sure that the server is connected to the Internet, and then do one of the following:
· Download software updates immediately
· Configure software update settings to approve updates automatically
To connect to the Internet

1. Open the Windows SBS Console.
2. On the Home page, click Connect to the Internet.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
|
To download updates immediately
|
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click either Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to download and install the available updates.
|
To configure software update settings
|
1. Open the Windows SBS Console.
2. On the navigation bar, click Security.
3. Click the Updates tab, and then, in the task pane, click Change the software update settings.
4. On the Server Updates and Client Updates tabs, choose from the following four update options:
· High. All updates and service packs are automatically approved for installation.
· Medium. All security, critical, and definition updates are automatically approved for installation.
· Low. All security and definition updates are automatically approved for installation.
· None. No updates are automatically approved for installation.
5. On the Schedule tab, choose how and when to update your servers and client computers.
6. On the Included Computers tab, choose the computer names and update groups that you want to include in updates. You can also change the update group to which individual computers belong.
7. Click OK to apply the changes.
8. To synchronize your software update settings immediately, in the tasks pane of the Windows SBS Console Updates tab, click Synchronize now.
