using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 9. Deploying Monthly Updates

[anyweb]

if you want to patch systems with updates released before you started your cycle then create baselines for each year containing updates for that platform

 

eg:

Windows 7 updates - 2013 Baseline

Windows 7 updates - 2012 Baseline

 

and so on....

No, I'm fine with that and that's what I've done.

An example

 

June 12th Patch Tuesday (ADR picks up changes)

June 30th MS release a critical patch out of cycle (No ADR job to pick this up)

July 12th Patch Tuesday (ADR picks up change)

 

How would we pick up the June 30th release?

if Microsoft release out of cycle patches then deploy then without an ADR (just create a regular SDR to deal with out of cycle patches).

[OffColour]

Thanks, but haven't got the time or manpower to do that, so think I'll just go with getting everything released in the past month.

Would I be right in saying the "out of cycle" patch would be picked up when your WSUS does a sync and SCCM will deploy it with the rule? Regardless of when it was released?

 

I have by WSUS set to sync once a day, and deploy and new updates daily. Of course, when patch day comes there are usually a fair few, but I do get the odd one or two throughout a week sometimes.

dont do anything in wsus, your SUP controls what wsus syncs and when

[Edenost]

Sorry, when I talk about WSUS, I talk about it within SCCM . My apologies.

[anyweb]

what happens when you click on 'get help with this error' ?

what does your windowsupdate.log and wuahandler.log file look like ?

Thank you for all your comprehensive articles on SCCM!

 

I've gotten to the point where the ADR is created but it does not bring any updates in when I run it. My setup is slightly different because I'm using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Server 2012 with WSUS. WSUS is showing 4191 updates waiting for approval. Do these need to be approved in WSUS before SysCenter will pick them up? Everytime I run the ADR it says successful but no updates are added.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
