Manage updates without SUP

[olley]

Dear all,

 

I'm currently thinking about how to manage Microsoft updates on a remote site without SCCM site server.

 

Usually I'm deploying all MS patches on remote sites with local distribution points. But we have 4 sites with just a few clients where it makes no sense to deploy a distribution point. The bandwidth to other sites is also too slow to deploy patches to local clients from another site.

 

Is there any chance to get the client updates managed from another site with SCCM deployments but downloaded online from Microsoft?

 

Thanks for all tips and best regards,

olley

you can have a distribution point on an x86 operating system, so if you have Windows 7 clients you could make one of them a dp and only distribute the windows update packages to that dp, so that might be an idea ?
