Gents,

 

I cannot find a correct article answering to the following question :

Do the SCCM clients directly communicates with the SUP ?

 

I don't know if clients are communicating with the SUP or if the SUP is communicating with the MP and then client with the MP.

Do you have an idea ?

Yes, client talk directly with the SUP.

Actually after some discussions and documentations the facts are the following :

The SCCM client talk with the MP (management point) in order to get the policies and to know where the WSUS server is and when the software update scanning needs to run.

When a software update scan is initiated, the SCCM client will instruct the local Windows Update agent to connect to the WSUS server and to perform the scan locally.

When done, the SCCM client is taking the scan result from the Windows Update agent and send a status message to the MP with info about updates (needed or not).
