AdrianP, Thank you this is a very helpful post, i have been trying to look for information which states the differences between WSUS (GPO) and SCCM SUP. The main questions i have are below, but this is based on a scenario that you used to patch using WSUS and GPO but have now moved on to using SCCM. Please put aside the software center which would show updates. Also any GPO's that had been used for client side targeting have been removed. 1. Should the servers/workstations still show in the WSUS console as either all computers or unassigned? 2. What is the difference in the windowsupdate.log that you can look for to ensure that patching is now done by SUP and not WSUS (GPO). 3. Traditionally using wuauclt.exe /..... Would show the user how many updates were available for their server/workstation. How do you determine this using SCCM 4. If you have a separate WSUS internet facing server and you are creating your deployment package should you download from the internet or point it to the WSUS content on the WSUS server? Hopefully you can help as i think these are all questions that would be very helpful. Thanks mac

If you have brought the WSUS server in to SCCM as a site system and added the Software update point, should you see any servers or workstations appearing in "unassigned computers" when you launch the WSUS console from SCCM? Also my DC had a pop up to say updates available and they also show in the Software Center and they installed. However if i look at the windowsupdate.log it shows the update happening. My understanding was nothing would show int he windowsupdate.log as this is for normal WSUS and not patching through SCCM
