Hi everyone, we have a unique problem here at my office. As a Microsoft partner, we are entitled to use System Center and Endpoint Protection for internal use. My boss wanted me to make this work as this is a "free" solution for us versus buying Symantec licenses. No one here works with System Center so I tried to learn as much as I could on my own and we've run it for probably the past year or so... I hate it. I learned a lot from the Windows Noob site (thank you very much!!), but it's too overkill for our environment. We have around 45 users and we don't need it for anything else except the AV portion.
The way I have it working based off the guides in here is that it deploys the updates to Config Mgr client, the FEP client, and the updates to users... that's all. Unfortunately, that's still more than I want it to do. Most everyone in our organization is IT and this is more control than we need. And I don't have the time to learn and manage System Center's nuances as well.
Is there a way to just push out the AV and let the client get updates maybe hourly from the Windows Update site, BUT leave all other updates for Windows, Office, etc, unaffected and handled the normal Microsoft way through Windows Update without them being forced from System Center?
I also have access to System Center 2012 R2 if that makes it easier.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
