Server Patch Deployment

Are there any changes that I need to make to the Admin Arsenal created packages for Windows 8.1 in order to deploy to Server 2012 systems?

I know I have to change the "conditions" but other than that I am unsure. Is this not the recommended method for patching servers? Is there a reason they don't release the server versions of these packages?

What packages are you referring to?

What's wrong with WSUS for windows update patches?

An example would be the "Win 8.1 Quality Rollup March 2017"

I'll let Admin Arsenal staff answer your initial question.

But according to the package, it utilize kb4012216 which also include Server 2012 R2.

Correct. The Microsoft patch is for Server 2012 as well. However the Package from Admin Arsenal has a "condition" limiting it to Windows 8.1. That is why I am wondering if I need to do anything beyond modifying the "condition" in the package.
