What is a Windows Build

[jgaucho81]

I work for a company that does SCADA systems.

we are planning to deploy windows server for these systems. We will need to come up with a way to send windows patches to an FTP site so that their IT department can install the patches on the offline servers.
My question is, what is a windows build? for example, I have two test servers here that are on Windows server 2019
one has build 17763.2061 and the other has 17763.1158.
If I were to manually download patches for each of these servers, would they both be able to take the same updates being that they are different builds?
I'm just trying to determine if windows updates can work on the same server versions even if they have dirrerent build numbers.

The build number is the version number of the operating system. I believe it is usually feature updates which tend to increment the build number. However, most of the updates should work, even if the servers are on different builds. I say should, because some updates may require dependencies provided by earlier updates; for example, if try to install a update for the older build, it may require an update which was released previous to the one you're currently trying to install.
