Hello,
I am in the process of migrating SCCM 2007 client over to a new SCCM 2012 R2 site.
I deleted the AD site from 2007 and added it to 2012 and the client is pushed via Client Push. The client upgrades fine and things go well but I run into a little problem after the client is installed.
Basically it seems to be an issue with how SCCM interacts with and controls Windows Update settings on the SCCM client. I ran into a somewhat of a major issue that caused all (or many) of the newly upgraded clients to go the internet to download updates from Microsoft shortly after the move from the 2007 site and client upgrade to 2012. This was because the client (or at least the ones I checked) had their WU settings to “Always download and install” (or something similar). Obviously, expected behavior with this setting, but the question is how did it get this way?
Does SCCM control any of these settings? I know it take over the WSUS settings, etc, but I didn’t think it does anything with the WU client itself. From my understanding the WU client settings are done via GPO (local or domain) or WU setting and SCCM does not control these settings.
I’m not looking for you to solve the problem, because it’s quite tedious, I’m just hoping that someone can lead me in the right direction to find out what if any WU settings are controlled or changed by SCCM 2007 or 2012.
Thanks
Angelo
