That's because automatic update was activated. Of course, any good Windows sysadmin would disable this (and lots of other unneeded services) on a production server. But i'm sure a Windows 2003 server can be a HA server (even clustered) - as long as it's not installed by some clicks on Next Next Finish. It just needs to be configured well like any other operating system.
