Windows 7 Desktops being patched issue

[Kimbie]

In the process of deploying SCCM 2012 R2, we already have a SCCM 2012 system but we lack confidence in it how it is setup so we are moving to 2012R2 in a new environment.

 

Have got it all setup however it appears some of our client computers are getting updated, we had 60 machines get updated overnight and trying to work out if the new SCCM box is responsible for it, and how can I prove / disprove it is the cause?

 

Thanks

ConfigMgr does not deploy updates automatically, or by simply approving updates... First a software update group has to be created and deployed and the updates have to be downloaded to a package. That means a lot of actions and nothing something that is done by accident. Remove the deployement and you should be fine. To immidiatly stop an active deployment, just remove the package, as it would cause the updates to fail because they can't find content.

What Peter said. You could also look at the windowsupdate.log on a client and see what the wsus server setting is is pointing to. Or look at the local group policy on the client.
