New here. Still new for SCCM –but I try to survive. Had to knock the wooden table, all still works.
My question is near for thread 'managing monthly updates in SCCM', however, I would like to hear some advices about how to manage the first deployment of updates after setting up SUP role?
Some background information:
One domain. Several HW and virtual servers.
One site, (SCCM2007 sp2/r3). Site server and database have 2 dedicated servers.
WSUS (and SUP role) with own mssql installed in dedicated server. First/initial sync done and resynced after verified products and languages (mainly Finnish and English).
3 Distribution points at this moment
About 2500 workstations and laptops to SW update: Windows XP, Windows 7, Office 2007 and 2010. We are slowly moving to Win7sp1, and Office 2010.
Remote wake-up does not work. (Maintenance window for nightly deployment). Not sure about why, 3rd party tool works from site server.
Couple of remote, stand alone wsus installations in remote offices, managed by local admins. We have discussed to not use these wsus services, mainly for old and slow hw. Unless enlightment and reasons came.
During my tests I realized, that neither wsus or sup role component did not automatically download any updates. While downloading, it takes several hours to download about 50 updates from internet, even our office and server center have good dedicated internet connection. Time is not problem, however, to download several hundred patches, any idea, how much I need to have disk space for required updates?.
One important question: How to handle computers wich must have older Internet Explorer 8 (win 7) installed? There is few programs which, by their respective support team, are not fully compatible with new IE.
And last, but not least, How to roganize such work to get big job done?
