SYMPTOMS
The localized versions of the updates for the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services are downloaded from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site to the Software Update Services (SUS) server. The download occurs despite the operating system's locale settings.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because Software Update Services (SUS) filters updates based on the operating system locale. However, SUS cannot filter updates for other operating system component's locales such as .NET Framework and Windows SharePoint Services. SUS cannot filter these updates because any localized updates for these components can run on any operating system locale. Therefore, all language versions of the updates are synchronized for these components.



MORE INFORMATION
SUS can filter Windows operating system updates by the locale property that is selected for the operating system. The updates that are synchronized from the Windows Update Web site to the SUS server are only for those locales that are specified. For example, only Japanese versions of updates can run on the Japanese locales. However, the .NET Framework and Windows SharePoint Services can run on any operating system locale. For example, the German .NET Framework can run on an English operating system locale.
