Microsoft Update Catalog Needs to be more OS Specific

Hi, I went the Microsoft Update Catalog to get updates for my Windows Server
2008 Core installation and unfortunately didn’t find what I was looking for.
I could download the 1.7GB of Server 2008 patches, but it seems like
overkill. If updates that applied to Server Core were tagged accordingly,
filtering would be 10x easier.

Thanks for your time,

Why would you be using the WUC when AU works with Windows Core [as far as i
know]?

Some of those updates in WUC wouln't apply to the Core such as IE & .net
Framework.

Try. The search engine should be a bit better such as allowing
sub-parameters for searching. I also don't think they distinguish between the
Core and other servers.
