Hi, the MS docs always just mention that WUFB is for Windows 10, but following a recent twitter reply from someone from the product group, it seems that managing Server OS with WUFB might be possible

Is it possible to know what the support status for WUFB for server OS?

thank you in advance and don't hesitate if you have any questions

    Can you post a link to the tweet so it's not just a quote from an anonymous person?

    Hello @Stéphane Lalancette

    This is what I find for now:

    WUFB provides a simpler way to update Windows endpoints with the latest patches.
    WSUS is installed as a server role, a component of Windows Server.
    While WUFB doesn’t allow organizations to approve individual updates like WSUS.

    You need to upgrade your group policy templates and you then need to manage GPO's from a Windows 10 desktop or 2016 server.

    Hopes it help a bit.

    I still don't know if WUFB supports patching server OS like it does for Windows 10 devices.
