Create Software Update Group Based on a Report

[Tox]

Hi There,

 

Is it possible to create a Create Software Update Group Based on a Report result? I need to create this Group based on a "is required" field.

 

Thanks in advance,

No. it is not possible.

 

Why don't you use the search feature within the console to create the SU group?

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. I just want to do this because there's about 200 updates to do in a specific machine. If I do what your

suggesting I think that I need to add the updates one by one am I correct?

[GarthMJ]

Use the multiply select options. I guess the real question is exactly how are you deploying your SU now? Why this sudden change for one computer?

[Tox]

This is a server and it needs to have a controlled update. That's why I created a Collection just for this machine.

[GarthMJ]

So you only have 1 servers? if not, then how is this different then all of you other servers? or Why treat this any differently than any other server?

[Tox]

Because I want to control each update in each server. We have a patch procedure in place for servers and control all steps of the update. We can't update a server without the feedback from the application owner and supplier (if that's the case). There's a lot of steps to do this process. We apply the update on a control envoirenment (quality server that's a copy of the production server) and then we apply to the production system. This is the only way to control the way that updates are being deployed. We use too other tools that makes packages to update third party applications (non microsoft) to be delivered by SCCM (WSUS).

Ok.. Create 1 update list per server then.
