MUing a box

When you build a box I prefer to manually use Microsoft update for that very first 'getting up to snuff' process.

So the first thing I do is ensure that the box has been flipped over to use Microsoft Update and not Windows update.

Windows Update only patches windows, Microsoft update offers up patches for Microsoft products. 

If you leave the patching interface for WU you won't get Exchange or SBS rollup patches.  Why isn't the box on MU from the get go?  EU/DOJ reasons is why.

 

And remember, to ensure you get the update rollups for SBS 2008... remember that the SP2 version of Small Business Server will need that update rollup for Companyweb to work as Win2k8 SP2 puts the kerberos on the box which is fixed by the update rollup.
