Client downloads updates before ADR runs

Recommended Posts

I am testing clients downloading from WSUS only and something has got me confused.

 

1) This client checks for updates from WSUS every hour.

2) The SUP is configured to sync at 1:00am.

3) All ADRs run between 3:00 am and 4:00 am.

 

What I saw in this clients MpCmdRun.log was that it was checking in to the wsus server every hour and not getting updates. Then, at 1:20am (after the 1:00am SUP sync), it checks in and gets updates.

This confuses me because I didn't think that the wsus server would have any updates until after ADR runs and actually downloads updates since SUP syncs, as far as I know, don't actually download updates and make them available.

 

And when I look at PatchDownloader.log on the server, I see that no updates are downloaded until 3:00am which is after this client updated at 1:20 am.

 

So the question is this: How did this client (which only is configured to update from wsus) get new definitions from the wsus server AFTER the SUP sync but BEFORE any ADR ran?
