Introduction

A product is a specific edition of an operating system or application, for example, Microsoft Windows Server 2003. A product family is the base operating system or application from which the individual products derive. An example of a product family is Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is a member of this product family. You can select the products or product families for which you want your server to synchronize updates. You can specify a product family or individual products within the family. Selecting a product or product family means that updates will be retrieved for current and future versions of the product.
