SCCM on Server 2008r2 and Updates to Server 2016

[speall]

Hi All,

We are having some problems with windows updates to our server 2016 devices. We are using the latest current branch of SCCM on a server 2008r2 server.

We have a set of server 2016 servers which are not getting the latest updates despite the client being installed and working. If we run a report from the server querying the updates available from our SCCM server we are given indication that there are no updates available however if we run the same test against internet based updates from microsoft we are shown that there are about 6 or so updates missing and available.

 If I search through the update catalog in SCCM for the updates that are not discovered from that server but ARE from online windows update, I can find them and they are listed as downloaded and deployed...

It is my understanding that SCCM can only report on updates that it deploys so we dont want to install any updates from the internet because this will break our reporting which is currently able to successfully report from the 2016 servers presumably meaning that updates to these servers from SCCM are working.

My question really is why is SCCM not showing the updates to the 2016 servers despite the fact that the updates are downloaded, deployed and in the automatic deployment rules?

Thanks,

Simon
