WSUS 2.0 identifies Windows 2008 64 bit servers as Vista

[Guest MrMako]

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.

 

Since they share the same kernel I thought maybe this was just a mislabeling

such as seeing "Longhorn" 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.

 

I did not see much in Google and not sure if I might need a patch or

something for this. Does anyone know if this is fixable in WSUS 2.0? I know

it works in 3.0, but not ready to just throw that up quite yet. Thanks.

Thanks. Hard to find in web browser, but I found another post you answered on

how to get there.
