  I'm not seeing any CUs in WSUS. When are they going to go online? Patching 2016 is currently very inconvenient for us since it has to be done manually with WSUS.

  Cumulative Updates are placed into the catalog on the 1st Tuesday of the month following the CU release. CU2 will be available Tuesday, 10/4. CU2 will be in the catalog, WSUS, and be offered my MU to eligible instances.Special note on CU1: CU1 was not placed into the catalog/WSUS back in July - apologies for the delay. It will also go into the catalog and WSUS next week. However, CU1 will not be offered via Microsoft Update, only CU2 will.
