Talk:Windows Server Update Services

Could you please "expand" on the following:

Microsoft also plans on including WSUS with Windows Server 2008, as an out-of-band component.

What exactly do you mean by an "out of band component"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drivenbywhat (talk • contribs) 04:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Updating
This article badly needs updating in order to explain the newer vesions of WSUS. For example, MSDE is mentioned, yet MSDE is no longer even supported by Microsoft. This article was clearly writen for older versions of the software. I don't really have enough knowledge about WSUS and Wikipedia editing to make this into a good article so help would be appreciated. Gimpy530 (talk) 20:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

WMSDE
Corrected WSUS 2.0 database type from MSDE to WMSDE. So the link is now broken. On the other hand, the short MSDE article doesn't mention WMSDE, so all the information was wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 01:52, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Licensing terms
"WSUS runs on Windows Server and is free to licensed Microsoft customers."

I asked for clarification here. I assume this means that if you have amy Windows Server license you may run WSUS without an additional payment. I am unsure of the precise licensing terms and how licensing would relate to the clients of a WSUS server.--Hadodohd (talk) 20:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

This means there is no premium to pay for using this service, as opposed to being charged a price to use this feature, it is part of the operating system as is Hyper V which has been included with Microsoft server since Windows Server 2008. Hope this helps. Ijustwannabeawinner (talk) 10:29, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
