I', sorry for this long post.
First a few words of my setup. I'm using SBS2008 as simply a mail and web server, that is I have no computers connected to it or any thing else and it's not my DHCP server. I know it has all the functions for
that by I'm running a simple one man company and only needs a reliable web and mail server.
I have disabled WSUS (a long time ago) and only use Windows Update to keep the server up to date. But now I see that I'm "only" getting sercurity and other updates to the OS not updates to software e.g. Exchange and other software. I know that as my Exchange is running SP1 - so the BPA tells me. I remember getting updates for Exchage and other software before turning WSUS off. I remember doing this in order to get rid of a HUGE WSUS folder.
I used this guide to turn off WSUS: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/10d6929c-bdbb-4ea3-9c87-d67de127597f/removeuninstall-wsus-from-sbs-2008
I have now turned WSUS back on on the server. I the SBS console there are no updates available even after "syncronizing updates". Only result is that I have a WSUS library on my C: drive og some 56
GB!

What I would prefer is not to use WSUS but just Windows Update. But I also want my software to be updated. Right now I'm in th worst of situations: Running WSUS and having the HUGE folder but getting no updates for the software but only for the OS. I have checked the settings for Windows Update and the "Microsoft Update" setting is checked.
I appreciate any help to get me up to date again.
