I am just starting to setup Software Update for SCCM 2012 R2. The configuration is done with the Classifications and Products selected and working. I selected the Classifications:
- Critical Updates
- Definition Updates
- Security Updates
- Service Packs
- Update Rollups
- Updates
Now I am just looking for the criteria to use for my Software Update Groups.
I watched this GREAT VIDEO "SCCM 2012 SP1 and the new way handling Software Updates explained", URL: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/sccm-2012-sp1-and-the-new-way-handling-software-updates-explained.aspx regarding the "new way" we are to be doing the groups and updates. The video isvery informative and explains a lot, but it does not say what criteria is used.
This is the breakdown from the video, but again it doesn't say what criteria may be:
• Keep Software Update Groups (SUG) Limited to 1,000 updates
• Don't split products into different SUG's
• Enabled Delta replication for the Software Update Points (SUP)
• Set High priority for the Software Distribution Group
Software Update Groups
• Exceptions group (not to deploy)
• TMG Definition Updates
• SCEP 2012 Definition Updates
• Outlook Definition Updates
• 2003-2010_All Updates
• 2011_All Updates
• 2012_All Updates
• 2013-01_All Updates
• 2013-02_All Updates
Deployment Packages
• TMG Definition Updates
• SCEP 2012 Definition Updates
• Outlook Definition Updates
• 2003-2010_All Updates
• 2011_All Updates
• 2012_All Updates
• 2013_All Updates
Automatic Deployment Rules
• Microsoft Outlook 2010/2013 Definition Updates
○ Run after synchronization
• Monthly Updates
○ Every Month on day 16 of the month
○ Uncheck "Enable the deployment after this rule is run
• SCEP 2012 Definition Updates
○ Run after synchronization
• TMG Definition Updates
○ Run after updates
I am specifically looking mostly for the Monthly updates and to make sure they are only those needed. Most I have seen use:
- Superseded: No
- Expired: No
- Bulletin starts with "MS"
I don't really know what the "MS" limits things to. Sorry a lot of information and not very clearly laid out.
