Yes, the deployment on each Software Update Group will be gone once the SUG is deleted. In my environment I have been doing these manually but I have thought of creating a PS which deletes any old SUG of more than 5-6months as I have set my Software Update Point (WSUS) to clean and expire updates after 6months.

To add, you can add it to Automatically Distribute the content to DPs, I have defined this in the ADR Rule to Automatically Distribute Content to DPs to take the headache of manually distributing the content and missing out later. You will have to add this on the Software Package with differential changes to avoid excessive bandwidth usage between DPs.

You should be able to add additional Distribution Points by right klicking the update package and select “Distribute Content” the Distribute Content Wizard should open.
There, in the “Content Destination”, you could add additional Distribution Points

The Option Distriobution Points is missing

I tried the step with “Deploy Software Updates Wizard”. Everyhting works fine but i am not able to distribute the content to other DPs. Can u tell me why? The Software Update works also fine for the Clients but not for the Clients that are bounded to an other DP it is not…

Kind Regards

I deploy my patches through SCCM and when I check my log, it says patches are installed by “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM” could you explain why I am seeing this? Also, how can I check this configuration?

Hi Prajwal,

That is correct and WSUS maitenance is also configured.

But i’m seeing this under Monitoring and Deployment:
ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-10-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-11-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-12-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-01-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-02-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-03-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-04-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-05-

But i can’t delete them.

Under Software Library -> Software Updates -> Software Update Groups i see the same:

ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-10-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-11-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2021-12-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-01-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-02-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-03-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-04-
ADR – OS Core Updates 2022-05-

And when i click one of them and click my right mouse button, there is a delete option.
If i deleted one of theme here will the deployment also be gone?

The old updates will be automatically cleaned up by Configuration Manager. Also, enable WSUS maintenance options in ConfigMgr.

I have a question about cleaning up after ADR created Software Update Groups.
We having monthly updates and i already have 7 Software Updates Groups from the last seven months.

How do i clean up these Software Updates Groups and there deployments?

Best Regards,

Marco

thank for for your reply!
i have disabled wsus gpo, but computer clients still have setting on registry. i have to remove it manually on each server. is there any way to do it automatically?
and how i can measure the update status on clients? wsus report or sccm report? i can’t have big picture for that, i don’t know what server is missing patches or which patches are needed.
please help to answer those question.
