System Updates is a print server service that keeps the system software on your print server

up-to-date with the latest Microsoft security updates. It runs in the background on

the print server and automatically checks for updates by contacting an update server

periodically (every 24 hours by default) through the Internet. If one or more updates are

available, System Updates alerts you to download and install the updates, or downloads and

installs updates automatically without any user interaction. You can turn off automatic

checking and use System Updates to check for and install updates manually at any time.

System Updates runs on print servers running Microsoft Windows XPe.

Installing the System Updates utility

If the System Updates utility is not already installed as part of your system software, install

it by downloading the System Updates patch ﬁle to the print server. The patch ﬁle is named

1-H23O1.ps
