Windows updates on 2008R2 server

[Harmen1966]

I got two questions about WU on a 2008R2 server;

 

1. What is the correct way to disable wsus settings and enable the sccm WU settings (what I do is set all gpo WU settings on "Non configured" and installt the SCCM client, then set the WU client to install updates automatically

2. I found out that servers updated with WSUS gets a lot more updates then servers updated with SCCM, I checked the download settings over and over again, but could not find the diffrences.

 

TIA.

Update:

Looking at update KB2853587 the old WSUS envoirment will update and install it on the 2008R2 server, SCCM states i'ts not required so no downloading and distributing to the servers??

 

Do I miss something?

Hi,

The correct WSUS GPO settings would to "Disable automatic updates", for the updates missing from SCCM, make sure you have selected all the classifications, and Products. many updates for example for Visual Studion Runtime are not in the Server 2008r2 category but in the "Developer Tools, Runtimes and redistributables"

So it could be many reasons Why not all the updates show up.

When I added the SUP role I used the products and classification settings from our WSUS envoirment, when I looked now at the WSUS console on the SCCM server I see that more then 4000 security updates are waiting to be approved and 800 critical updates waiting to be approved. And yes some of them are superceeded but sme of them are not.
