Why is KB2718704 not included in the Windows Server 2003 iso. Not sure why? Any ideas?

Microsoft didn't include it in their catalog wsusscn2.cab (maybe because it requires ''Genuine'' validation). As WSUSOU uses this catalog to determine updates, it is missing.

Does it matter if it is a new patch? I rerun the tool to recreate the iOS this morning and it still wasn't there.

If the update is not in the M$ update catalog it won't be downloaded by WOU unless it's manually defined as static update.

Can you tell us, how to define?

Yes, of course, as ...\doc\faq-enu.txt does:

Q: Can I download/install additional patches?
A: Yes, you can adjust how the download and update scripts behave by excluding or adding patches from download or installation. For adding updates proceed as follows:

1. Adding updates to download routines

For adding an update to be downloaded, insert its download URL into the matching "StaticDownloadLinks-<platform>[-architecture>]-<language>.txt file, found in the ".\static" directory.
...or use the "custom" directory below

2. Adding updates to installation routines

Add an update to installation by inserting its knowledge base ID (KBxxxxxx or simply xxxxxx) into the matching "StaticUpdateIds-<platform>[-<architecture>].txt file (directory ".\client\static").
