I have not used WSUS before. So I would like to get clarified on;1. Is thre any prerequisite on using WSUS for deploying SQL Server 2000, 2005 & 2008 Service pack and hotfixes?2. Is there any known issues withit?3. What is the successful rate on using WSUS for deploying SQL Server 2000, 2005 & 2008 Service pack and hotfixes?4. How about if there are multiple SQL Server instances on a server?5, What are the input / planning required to use WSUS? like SQL Server Instance name, Server Name, Server Administrator accout..,6. Merits & Demerit of uisng WSUS for deploying SQL Server 2000, 2005 & 2008 Service pack and hotfixes over manually doing this?7.
