Software Updates Cumulative Package

[Nicola]

Hi Everyone,

 

Recently i've working with Software Updates within SCCM, and have been discussing the possibility of using yearly cumulative packages for Software Updates.

Each month the updates will be added to a deployment for that month. The following month, a clean-up will occur whereby the previous month's packages will be added to the yearly package.

 

The Q is, is there an actual procedure for this, or is it as easy as the 'drag and drop' method?

 

Cheers

if you look at the software udpate point and work your way in a downwards direction then you'll be able to do what you want,

start with a sync, then update your Update List with new patches, sort that and pull out the ones you don't need (like itanium etc), then drag and drop to your deployment management task and continue from there,

 

as long as you are not exceeding 500 updates per software update deployment package you should be ok

Thanks very much for that...I will try this out!
