Software Updates in SCCM and WSUS

[BrianH]

We had to have our Sys Admin team set a GPO to enable Automatic Updates Service , which caused computers to receive updates we had scheduled through software updates in SCCM. We saw that our updates went successfully, but we don't have anything pointed to a WSUS server.

 

That being said, the Sys Admin team said that those computers could receive updates from the Internet and so we weren't sure if that would affect what we are trying to send.

 

What I'm trying to figure out is, what do we need to do to make sure that these computers receive and install updates from SCCM, but not the internet or anywhere else?

what you need to do is to remove any GPO's that you have setup pointing to the WSUS server, and let configmgr (SCCM) do the rest,

once you've configured your SUP sccm will take care of telling all your clients where to get the updates from

So, if they aren't pointing to a WSUS server, that means that they won't get updates from the Internet as well, correct?

that depends on whether SCCM is controlling them via sup or not
