It honestly should be there.

I did download it from the catalog but now I am concerned why WSUS is
not showing it. All the other three rollups are there but not the
fourth.
From: Chris Puckett [MSFT] on
I'm not sure why it is not showing up, but here's what I would start
checking.

1. You need to check the Synchronizations in the WSUS Console to make sure
it is successfully sync'ing every night or if there has been an error. You
can also force a manual sync.

2. In the WSUS console, click the Server name. In the middle pane, look at
Download Status. Does it show 0 for Updates needing files? If not, you may
need to wait for these updates to be downloaded before UR4 (or any other
update not downloaded yet) to show up. Once downloaded, they get approved
by the Windows SBS Manager service ever hour, so make sure that service is
running. You can read about that here:
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2009/06/23/update-services-in-sbs-2008.aspx

Less likely reasons continue below, but give you something else to try if
they above doesn't help.

3. See if you are running out of hard drive space? Make sure to use and
elevated explorer window (or launch explorer.exe from an elevated cmd
prompt).
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2010/03/02/recovering-disk-space-on-the-c-drive-in-small-business-server-2008.aspx

4. Run the WSUS cleanup wizard from within the WSUS Console. If this has
never been done, do it at the end of the day and let it run over night.

It has been syncing every morning with no errors. There are currently
0 files needed. Other updates have been coming through just fine.

I am also not anywhere near out of hard drive space.

I tried running Windows Update on the SBS2008 box and chose to look
online for updates. It did not list the rollup 4 on that either.

I have just manually installed it. Makes me a little worried why I
never got it.
From: Printman2000 on
Think I figured out what was wrong. Looks like the products selected
in WSUS changed and I was missing SBS2008 was not selected. Really
strange as I am the only one who uses it and I did not change it.
Wondering if some update screwed it up as many products that use to be
selected were not longer.

Thanks for the help.
