Windows Update Services (WSUS) does not register in Add/Remove Pro

Question:
It seems like security fixes installed by Windows Server Update Services
does not create any entries within Add/Remove Programs folder is this a
normal behavour ?

Detail:
Normally when security fixes is installed by hand the installation will
create an corresponding entry within the Add/Remove Programs folder so that a
fix easily can be uninstalled if necessary, this seems however not to be the
case when a security fix is installed by WSUS.
I'm not sure if it's predecessor SUS 1.0 had the same behavour or not.

Platform:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, SP1

Hi,

Sorry, thought that WSUS product was part of Windows Update as well
just for the record is'nt the same client software involved both for Windows
Update and Windows Server Update Services or is it completely different
software components involved ?

Hi,

Yes, the same client software (Windows Update Agent) is used for
both WSUS and Windows Update/Automatic Updates.
