Install WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Windows Server 2012 Essentials

In wS2012e you cannot install WSUS because the “Windows Server Update Services” role is missing in Server Manager.

But now a hotfix has been made available which brings the WSUS role back to Windows Server 2012 Essentials and "The Windows Server Essentials and Small Business Server Blog" have a great article/tutorial on how to get this set up, which takes you through the necessary steps.

The hotfix can be downloaded from here, whilst the tutorial can be found here.
