Prajwal Desai
In this post we will look at the steps on how to deploy software updates using SCCM 2012 R2. Deploying the software updates for the
computers is essential, the software updates are released by major software vendors to address security vulnerabilities in their existing
products. To stay protected against cyber-attacks and malicious threats it is very important that you keep the computers patched with latest
software updates. Software updates in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager provides a set of tools and resources that can help
manage the complex task of tracking and applying software updates to client computers in the enterprise. Talking about software updates, in
SCCM 2012 R2 there are few new features added which includes a new maintenance window dedicated for software updates installation.
This lets you configure a general maintenance window and a different maintenance window for software updates. When a general
maintenance window and software updates maintenance window are both configured, clients install software updates only during the
software updates maintenance window. A new feature called Software updates preview lets you review the software updates before you
create the deployment.

There are 2 ways to deploy software updates using SCCM 2012 R2,
Manual
and
Automatic.
In Manual software
updates deployment, a set of software updates is selected the Configuration Manager console and these updates are deployed to the target
collection whereas Automatic software updates deployment is configured by using automatic deployment rules. This method is used for
deploying monthly software updates and for managing definition updates. When the rule runs, the software updates that meet a specified
criteria (for example, all security software updates released in the last week) are added to a software update group, the content files for the
software updates are downloaded and copied to distribution points, and the software updates are deployed to client computers in the target
collection. In this post we will see the steps to deploy the software updates manually and for automatic software updates deployment, there
will be a separate post.
To start with, install the
Software Update Point
role first. Launch the
Configuration Manager
Console, click on
Administration,
expand
Overview,
click
Site Configuration,
click on
Sites.
At the top ribbon click on
Add Site System Roles.
From the
Add Site System Roles Wizard,
click on
Software Update Point
and click
Next.
For
WSUS Configuration,
select
WSUS is configured to use ports 8530 and 8531 for client communications
and click
Next.
Note
When you install WSUS, you can specify whether to use the default Internet Information Services (IIS) website or create a new custom
WSUS website. As a best practice, select
Create a Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Web site
so that IIS hosts the WSUS 3.0
services in a dedicated website instead of sharing the same website with other Configuration Manager site systems or other software
applications. When you use a custom website for WSUS 3.0, WSUS configures port 8530 for HTTP and port 8531 for HTTPS. You must
specify these port settings when you create the software update point for the site.
For
WSUS Server Connection Account,
click
Use credentials to connect to the WSUS server,
click on
Set
and choose the account. The
account provides authenticated access from the site to WSUS server. Click
Next.
Click
Synchronize from Microsoft Update
and click
Next.
Click
Enable synchronization on a schedule
and let the schedule be set to default (simple schedule). You may also click
Alert when sync
fails on any site in hierarchy.
Click
Next.
