And i know all of you have been waiting for this and so here is the magic powershell script that will make that happen! Next up is where the variables are set to which EvaluationState the update have and what WMI class we are gonna call later.
The rest of the script just handles the actual process of calling the WMI classes and get things done,. Hello, How do I run this? On server side or client? Do I need to load the ps1 first and how please? Hey, You can either run on the server side or client side, just have to make sure you have sufficient rights to do so.
Have you tested this script against ConfigMgr client version 5. I personally cannot get it to work. Great script! The software updates metadata that is required for the scan for software updates compliance is stored on the local client computer, and by default, is relevant for up to 24 hours. The client scans for software updates compliance by using an online or offline scan and a forced or non-forced scan, depending on the way the scan for software updates compliance is started.
The following describes which methods for starting the scan are online or offline and whether the scan is forced or non-forced. At the configured scan schedule, the client connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata only when the last scan was outside the TTL.
The client computer always connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata before the client computer scans for software updates compliance. After the scan is complete, the TTL counter is reset. For example, if the TTL is 24 hours, after a user starts a scan for software updates compliance, the TTL is reset to 24 hours. At the configured deployment reevaluation schedule, the client connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata only when the last scan was outside the TTL.
Before the client can download update files in required deployments, the client connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata only when the last scan was outside the TTL. Before the client installs software updates in required deployments, the client connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve the software updates metadata only when the last scan was outside the TTL.
After a software update is installed, the Software Updates Client Agent starts a scan by using the local metadata. The client never connects to WSUS running on the software update point to retrieve software updates metadata. After a software update is installed and the computer is restarted, the Software Updates Client Agent starts a scan by using the local metadata. A software update deployment package is the vehicle used to download software updates to a network shared folder, and copy the software update source files to the content library on site servers and on distribution points that are defined in the deployment.
By using the Download Updates Wizard, you can download software updates and add them to deployment packages before you deploy them. This wizard lets you provision software updates on distribution points and verify that this part of the deployment process is successful before you deploy the software updates to clients.
When you deploy downloaded software updates by using the Deploy Software Updates Wizard, the deployment automatically uses the deployment package that contains the software updates. When software updates that have not been downloaded are deployed, you must specify a new or existing deployment package in the Deploy Software Updates Wizard, and the software updates are downloaded when the wizard is finished.
You must manually create the shared network folder for the deployment package source files before you specify it in the wizard. Each deployment package must use a different shared network folder. The SMS Provider computer account and the administrative user who actually downloads the software updates both require Write permissions to the package source. Restrict access to the package source to reduce the risk of an attacker tampering with the software updates source files in the package source.
When a new deployment package is created, the content version is set to 1 before any software updates are downloaded. When the software update files are downloaded by using the package, the content version is incremented to 2. Therefore, all new deployment packages start with a content version of 2. Every time that the content changes in a deployment package, the content version is incremented by 1. For more information, see Fundamental concepts for content management.
Clients install software updates in a deployment by using any distribution point that has the software updates available, regardless of the deployment package. Even if a deployment package is deleted for an active deployment, clients still can install the software updates in the deployment as long as each update was downloaded to at least one other deployment package and is available on a distribution point that can be accessed from the client.
When the last deployment package that contains a software update is deleted, client computers cannot retrieve the software update until the update is downloaded again to a deployment package. Software updates appear with a red arrow in the Configuration Manager console when the update files are not in any deployment packages. Deployments appear with a double red arrow if they contain any updates in this condition. There are two main scenarios for deploying software updates in your environment, manual deployment and automatic deployment.
Typically, you deploy software updates manually to create a baseline for client computers, and then you manage software updates on clients by using automatic deployment. The following sections provide a summary for the workflow for manual and automatic deployment for software updates.
Manual deployment of software updates is the process of selecting software updates in the Configuration Manager console and manually starting the deployment process. You typically use this method of deployment to get the client computers up-to-date with required software updates before you create automatic deployment rules that manage ongoing monthly software update deployments, and to deploy out of band software update requirements.
The following list provides the general workflow for manual deployment of software updates:. Filter for software updates that use specific requirements. For example, you could provide criteria that retrieves all security or critical software updates that are required on more than 50 client computers. Automatic software updates deployment is configured by using an automatic deployment rule ADR.
You typically use this method of deployment for your monthly software updates generally known as Patch Tuesday and for managing definition updates.
When the rule runs, software updates are removed from the software update group if using an existing group , the software updates that meet a specified criteria for example, all security software updates released in the last week are added to a software update group, the content files for the software updates are downloaded and copied to distribution points, and the software updates are deployed to client computers in the target collection.
The following list provides the general workflow for automatic deployment of software updates:. Decide whether to enable the deployment or report on software updates compliance for the client computers in the target collection.
The software update group is deployed to the client computers in the target collection, if it is specified. You must determine what deployment strategy to use in your environment.
For example, you might create the ADR and target a collection of test clients. After you verify that the software updates are installed on the test group, you can add a new deployment to the rule or change the collection in the existing deployment to a target collection that includes a larger set of clients. The software update objects that are created by the ADRs are interactive. Software updates that were deployed by using an ADR are automatically deployed to new clients added to the target collection.
New software updates added to a software update group are automatically deployed to the clients in the target collection. After you create an ADR, you can add additional deployments to the rule. This can help you manage the complexity of deploying different updates to different collections.
Each new deployment has the full range of functionality and deployment monitoring experience, and each new deployment that you add:. After you deploy software updates or when an automatic deployment rule runs and deploys software updates, a deployment assignment policy is added to the machine policy for the site. The software updates are downloaded from the download location, the Internet, or network shared folder, to the package source. The software updates are copied from the package source to the content library on the site server, and then copied to the content library on the distribution point.
When a client computer in the target collection for the deployment receives the machine policy, the Software Update Client Agent starts an evaluation scan.
The client agent downloads the content for required software updates from a distribution point to the local client cache at the Software available time setting for the deployment and then the software updates are available to install.
The software updates in optional deployments deployments that do not have an installation deadline are not downloaded until a user manually starts the installation. When the configured deadline passes, the Software Updates Client Agent performs a scan to verify that the software updates are still required. Then it checks the local cache on the client computer to verify that the software update source files are still available. Finally, the client installs the software updates.
If the content was deleted from the client cache to make room for another deployment, the client re-downloads the software updates from the distribution point to the client cache. Software updates are always downloaded to the client cache regardless of the configured maximum client cache size. When the installation is complete, the client agent verifies that the software updates are no longer required, and then sends a state message to the management point to indicate that the software updates are now installed on the client.
By default, when software updates from a required deployment are installed on a client computer and a system restart is required for the installation to finish, the system restart is started. For software updates that were installed before the deadline, the automatic system restart is postponed until the deadline, unless the computer is restarted before that for some other reason.
The system restart can be suppressed for servers and workstations. By default, client computers start a deployment reevaluation cycle every 7 days. During this evaluation cycle, the client computer scans for software updates that were previously deployed and installed. If any software updates are missing, the software updates are reinstalled from the local cache.
If a software update is no longer available in the local cache, it is downloaded from a distribution point and then installed. You can configure the reevaluation schedule on the Software Updates page in client settings for the site. When you deploy software updates to Windows Embedded devices that are write filter-enabled, you can specify whether to disable the write filter on the device during the deployment and then restart the device after the deployment.
If the write filter is not disabled, the software is deployed to a temporary overlay and the software will no longer be installed when the device restarts unless another deployment forces changes to be persisted. When you deploy a software update to a Windows Embedded device, make sure that the device is a member of a collection that has a configured maintenance window. This lets you manage when the write filter is disabled and enabled, and when the device restarts.
The user experience setting that controls the write filter behavior is a check box named Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance windows requires restarts.
For more information about how Configuration Manager manages embedded devices that use write filters, see Planning for client deployment to Windows Embedded devices. After you publish the software updates to the update server and synchronize the software updates in Configuration Manager, you can deploy the software updates to Configuration Manager clients.
