one of items have patch, our ocs r2 environment, runs on 2003r2sp2 x64.  list of patches ocs r2 available @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968802 and not all of patches not visible in online catalog.

967832, 2028578, 983471, 983469, 2028574, 971298, 2284304, 983472, 2032834, 982170, 2028582, , 967830.

why these patches not available in catalog?  not appear superceeded, nor listed defunct on patch pages.  unable have wsus find them automatically, can't manually install them, and am hitting head against wall.  fantastic...

 

why these patches not available in catalog? 

because hotfixes.... hotfixes not published catalog. available through controlled requests, , requests monitored, , followed-up on determine functionality , success of hotfixes.

more point, should install hotfix if you have explicitly identified occurrence of actual (mis)behavior documented in associated kb article. in other words.. regards hotfix .. if ain't broken .. not "fix" it!

you may find benefit reviewing technet documentation on update management.

i suggest reviewing actual kb articles associated each of 12 identified hotfixes.
