Software Update Help

[rob343]

still quite new to config manager, i am in the process of setting up software update as per instructions.

 

 

My issue is, that we have had a group policy which has always blocked Windows update. (as we used Altiris client based) how does this effect configmanager
ability to deploy software updates.

 

 

Do I need to set the group policy to enable updates, and if so which settings do I use.

 

 

thanks

When using ConfigMgr for patching, you shouldn't use GPO's at all. The reason for that is that the ConfigMgr client uses local policies to set the configuration (like the WSUS server).

thanks will try altering the GP's in the morning.
