Fw: Installing updates on Windows 2003 server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Resubmitting to a top level for attention.
The issue is this:

I accept that the updates do not work on W2k3 Server. However I am still
getting notification to install these updates on the Server. How do I stop
getting these notifications? This appears to be an easy bug to fix.

It's not a bug but a setting. Once again I strongly recommend
uninstalling the software since it is not need on that computer.
