sentinel0 Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 How can I make all clients always download their required updates from Windows Updates? I've looked everywhere and I can't find something specific to the scenario. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronBISSELL Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 Are you talking about deploying Windows Updates via SCCM 2012 - but having them download the updates from Microsoft Update rather than a distribution point on your network?

sentinel0 Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 Yes I do not want clients to get the updates from distribution points if all possible and only download from Windows Update the patches from the Deployment Package. Can this be done and how? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronBISSELL Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 If you deploy the updates to a collection - without distributing them to the Distribution Points, you can check this box here to tell the updates to look to Microsoft Update 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 Also, to add-on, by default Internet clients will use Microsoft Update for their update content. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinel0 Posted September 22, 2014 Report post Posted September 22, 2014 Thank you for the explanation and information! If I had one AD site that had a local distribution point that I wanted clients at that site to pull from locally I would distribute update package content only to that distribution point correct? The site boundaries basically dictate that a one specific site has local access to distribution content and all other AD sites are part of an slow link boundary group with a different distribution point. If I'm understanding this correctly as long as the slow link boundary groups associated distribution point doesn't get the deployment package those clients will pull from Windows Updates and the clients of the local site will pull from the distribution point assigned to the site boundary group accordingly. Am I correct in my assumption? Thanks again for the help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted September 23, 2014 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 Slow network boundary still makes a distribution point the prefered one for a client, so that won't help you. I would say, make sure the content is not available on a prefered distribution point and that there is no fallback location available.
