    Joe,

    I have seen this as well. It seems to be a matter of timing. While you
    downloading the patches from Windows Update, AU also scans and begins to
    download the same patches. Once AU has finished download the patches it
    presents them as ready to install without verifying that they are still
    needed. Having a "setup" ou that doesn't push SUS policies may be one way
    to avoid this problem. We just let AU and SUS apply the patches during
    the setup process.

    -Mark
