You should give the computeraccount of the Site System rights on the System Management folder in the AD.

Just put the iss file in the same folder as the setup.exe and kick the setup of with also /SMS specified. By doing that it will pick up the iss file automatic.

Correct.

You will only recieve the notification on the Console session and with 2008R2 the first logged on user will get the notification..

That's weird... Did you take a look at the ClientIDManagerStartup.log?

Did you configure a deadline?

Correct, I migrated last year from BlogEngine.NET to Wordpress, which changed all the links to my site...

Just let it run with the normal update distribution in your company

It has to be installed on a Site Server as it is a sort of an extention to SCCM.

And does that Boundary also exists in one of the SMS Sites?

What about the Boundaries? Do you by any change have overlapping Boundaries?

Yes you can just follow that link, as the requirements for WSUS are still the same.

Why not just posting the link...: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/cm/bb932316.aspx

I do not realy get your question... The only thing you have to do is to update the installed SQL Components with CU14.

A Distribution Point can be on almost every server that you want, as long as the Site Server can connect to it and is member of the local admins on it...

Are the updates available on the DPs for the clients?

Take a look here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/configmgrgeneral/thread/af5539b5-9792-4ea2-bda2-bbe417ef2f75

And what about a nslookup from a failing installation?

That sounds like your client is not recieving policies... Can it connect to the Site Server? Is there anything in the logs (CLientlocation, LocationServices, ClientID, Etc)?

You could also use preinst.exe /stopsite (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680827.aspx), which is made to stop all SCCM related services.

Did you check if the machine has an IP? And if it can resolve the names?

There is already Technet Documentation for that (it's still work in progress): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682006.aspx

Did you check the WSUS logfiles for any errors?

AFAIK, the SUP only downloads the metadata and the downloads of the updates itself are done by the machine from where the download action gets started.

How often are your discoveries running? Are those discoveries running succesfully? Without any warnings or errors?
