    I have tested the updates in a test environment:

    - WSUS-Server: Server 2016

    - WSUS-Client who received the updates from WSUS: Server 2016

     

    Test results:

    1. The initial install of edge on Server 2016 (WSUS-Client) isn't possible with one of the updates from WSUS. (The Windows Server 2016 doesn't show me KB4584642 as available for installation.)

    2. After installing Edge (via MSI) on the WSUS-Client and installing all Windows updates it was possible to patch the installed Edge with the updates form WSUS. [Update name: Microsoft Edge-Stable Channel <Version> for x64-Editions (Build <Build-Version>)]

    • You should update the description of the updates. At the moment it says the following: "It applies to Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10-based systems." ("Windows Server 2016" and "Windows server 2019" are missing here.)

     

    Best regards.

htcfreek Hello!  Yes, you can deploy MS Edge to Windows Server 2016 using WSUS.  Please see the following for more information:

Hi Kelly_Y .

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

I know about the updates on WSUS. But the updates (initial install and update to new version) on WSUS that I know are marked as compatible with Windows 10 Version 1809 to 2004 and not as compatible for Windows Server 2016 (LTSC) and Windows Server 2019 (LTSC). - Same on Microsoft Update Cataloge.

 

Are there any other updates (initial install and update to new version) on WSUS or Update Cataloge which are compatible to Windows Server 2016 (LTSC) and Windows Server 2019 (LTSC)? Can you please write me the KB numbers of the updates for Edge on Windows Server, if you know them?

 

Best regards and thank you.
