Software Update silent deployment through SCCM

Question

Hi,

We are currently looking at using SCCM to deploy windows updates, however i am having a problem with the updates getting to the clients.

 

I would like to be able to deploy updates through SCCM, but supress any notifications and reboots - basically so that the end user can continue to work uninterupted. The update packages are set to deploy as soon as possible and the deadline is set 2 weeks in advance, however depsite synchronising the client etc the updates aren't installing.

 

I know i should enable the notifications in testing so i can see whether anything is happening, but i would like to know whether the desired setup is even possible?

 

To clarify, I want to pick,download and deploy updates as soon as possible, without notifications to the clients, with supressed reboots. I don't particularily want to wait until the deadline passes, as this will mean that it will reboot the machine on the deadline without warning. Is this possible? How would i go about doing it?

 

Hopefully this makes sense?

 

Cheers

Scott

Yeh, i think so... I'll have a look into the possibilities and see which one fits us.

 

If i do schedule the deployment at say 9pm, but the PC is switched off, does it install the following morning, or will it try daily at 9 until its on at that time?

 

If my memory serves me correctly, I think that it will install the following morning but that depends on how you have your Maintenance Windows configured. Also in the Deployment Management properties of a deployment on the Schedule tab there is a check box, "Ignore maintenance windows and install immediately at deadline" which could impact this behavior as well.
