How to Distribute Updates to Users with SCCM?

In this article, we will talk about distributing Software Updates to User Computers in our build-in System Center Configuration Manager by hidden reboot method.

Software Update Groups

  • In order to see the group we have created before, we select the “Software Update Groups” option and right-click on the “SUG_Windows10_Update” object that we created, and select the “Deploy” option for distribution to Client Computers in our structure.

  • We choose the “Browse” option to choose the Collection group to which we will deploy. We choose our “Device Collection” where we have client computers to update. (As I mentioned above, it is important to create a Special Collection that contains only the computers that you will update, and perform Deploy operations.) Then, we select the “Next” option.

  • The client informs us that our computer needs Restart after the installation process is completed. In this update method, after the relevant Updates are installed, the User will wait for him whenever he restarts his computer.

  • When we examine our log file named “WUAHandler” located in C:\Windows\CCM\Logs Directory of our Client Computer that we have provided deployment process, we see that the Update installation process has been completed. Here we see the reboot information of our client computer. You can see the Updates have been installed by performing the reboot process.
