They weren't running the Windows Server on their server then, which is a pretty reckless thing to do even without going into T&C aspects of it.

Why would you run Windows Server on the receptionists machine?

I think he's trying to say that they didn't have a Windows update server to prevent that kind of thing. The only people dodging this are using a utility, manually deleting updates, or are running Enterprise.

It's pretty hard to buy enterprise. I could easily see many small companies going with Pro instead and getting unwanted upgrades to Windows 10.

Unless I've been smoking something the comment I replied to originally said "main server."
