I have an issue, I can not figure out.. Originally, I had SUP obtain windows updates directly from Microsoft. Things worked very well. We purchased Retina CS to mitigate WIndows & 3rd Party updates. So, for this to work, we had to point SUP to an existing Upstream WSUS Server. The Architecture is as follows; SCCM Server 2012 - 2012 server, has a Back-End SQL Server 2012 Server. The SCCM Server SUP connects to the Upstream WSUS Server [2008 server R2], that has a Backend 2008 SQL Server The SCCM Server 2012 is a Replica, WSYNCMGR Log: Sometimes in the WSYNCMGR, I get succeeded; mostly I get Failed as show here.. Sync succeeded. Setting sync alert to canceled state on site NET $$<SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER><08-08-2013 23:04:49.592+300><thread=5944 (0x1738)> Sync failed: The operation has timed out.

I have SCCM 2012 SP1, Is there any way to postpone a windows update for users? My understating is , 1) we can setup a Maintenance Window, however, during a MW if the systems are not Online, they will skip the reboot. 2) Extend the SCCM Client Restart. ..... We have situations where users can’t have their systems rebooted while working on critical issues. . If you can’t postpone the reboot, are there any other suggestions ? Thank you
