I'd think once MS realizes they left it out of WSUS it should appear there, though we may have to wait longer than appropriate for MS to fix their oversight. Hopefully some MVP is talking to an MS insider as we speak... You could always drop the update.exe on a server and install it with a startup script... It has the /Q option just like it should. The only thing I discovered, I was using Outlook when I ran the update and the .hol file was replaced but the holidays weren't installed. I had to go through the Calendar Options / Install Holidays button to install them. Carl

The answer is no isn't it? I haven't found anything to indicate that it can be done at the server level, it's an Outlook thing.....but of course he's notified our manager and will argue with me on this....
