WUFB server support
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

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.
