Could you advise on how to automate ADR Microsoft Monthly patching Compliance report to a SVC file and email the report the day after the ADR deployed on production environment?
I tried to use the SCCM build in Compliance-3 report but you can not set the queries due to SUG needs to be set so only the previous month patching compliance report can be generated in SCCM build in report. Thanks in advance.

Dear Bother, Thank you for your effort that you have taken through out the series and you are really appreciated for what you are. I have newly implemented a SCCM Current branch server and all my clients have been pushed with SCCM Client as well. But, recently my SCCM management software got updated from the console since then, not a single client on my LAN are seemingly updating with any settings which i made on SCCM, even after the settings were pulled in order to have a quick update from the clients by accessing Config Manager on Control Panel.

But the good thing is i can see all my clients are active & green and those could even be accessed & controlled via remote control & and all the available options like that as well. Could you please assist me with what troubleshooting methods should i have to follow in order to get it done. I have made some settings such as Organization name displayed in Software Center and 7-Zip application deployment as well but nothing were updated on software center when i open it from the client side. Any assistance from your end would be highly appreciated. Thank you

I know this video is old but we are trying to set this up. I synchronize my updates and they populate in SCCM, but after awhile yours started showing up as required for your devices, some of mine do not. I have Win 10 Vms that were made around january, so they should require the latest cumulatives, however none of these are saying required? Any idea what I could look at?

If it helps we are running the WSUS role and SCCM on the same server.

Awesome videos man. A big help indeed!

Hi @theSysadminChannel, first, thank you so much for the video. I am setting up updates for our environment following your video. At 28:43, you got all of the months created up to Jun 2018. Did you deploy each month separately one by one before deploying the ADR?

[nategmail]

video was awesome sir, very informative

[saburmirza]

Hi, I wanted to ask, is it a must for the client machine to have Software center so that it can install the updates. Because what I want is that I deploy an update and its automatically installed onto the client machine, without the client having to open up software center and installing the updates.

[tsaguna]

Hi, I did everything but Software center not shows any updates in updatestore.log there is "Querying update status of 82 updates" It is the same amount of updates which I deployed

[FreeJackCO]

Great Video! Thank You!
Question: When you created the ADR... You selected a deployment package at 33.02 "Windows Updates for Workstation - 2018" you mention you already created. How did you create that deployment package for the ADR to reference to? Did you create a full year update group for Jan-to-Jun for the deployment package?

[StreetSmartification]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the instructions, very informative indeed. I have a bit of issue, I am able to download/deploy updates, for example, for Windows 1909, however, the updates do not show in the Software Center in the Windows machine 1909. Having said, I attempted to install an app, Chrome, and i am able to see in the software center with no issue. Any inputs?

Hi, I am new to SCCM, just following the documents and video links, the problem I am facing here is, not able to add the servers to groups created, the servers are already joined to domain, still not able to add servers to the test group created . Can you please help here, which document or video link should I refer. Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Santhosh

Hi, great video. At 23:10 you mentioned that you are going to select a WSUS Folder that you created earlier. Where did you create this, I seem to have missed it. Thanks

[MohdAli-odln]

Yes I think I understand, because u are using the 1/jan to 31/may group for the ADR + the month delta, but in that case why create the June Package at all

[MohdAli-odln]

why did you create 2 Packages for 2018, ie (Jan 2018 to May 31) and then for one package for June, I understand we would like to create ADR for paste one month only, so I understand why july was not included .. please highlight.

[StreetSmartification]

Question: is that PAC-WSUS01 the computer name on which you have the WSUS role installed; or is it a username?

Another thing I ran into towards the last phase of deploying the updates, the progress was on going and then the status changed to “failed”. Tried it a few times with the same outcome and naturally the Software Center didn’t show anything under updates.

Please advise!

I pushed out a client that needs to be updated. Will a new push out overwrite the other client?

Good info but I am so glad I use zenwork. So much easier.
