SCCM 2007 What's New? Day 1 - Software Update Points
The Open Beta 2 of the next version of SMS went live yesterday. So what is new with SMS? For one thing Software Update Point is a new role, this is what handles the patching synchronization between your SMS servers, Microsoft, and companies that supply custom updates through Microsoft. This role is installed on a server that has WSUS 3.0 installed, the WSUS server can be a local or remote sever to your site server, but WSUS must be installed prior to installing the role, hence selecting the role does not install WSUS for you. You can find out how to install WSUS 3.0 here, it is also included in the SCCM 2007 Beta 2 when you extract the install files so you don't have to go download it.
The manner in which updates are installed is completely different as well, the biggest change is no advertisements.
That's all for now, but you can try it yourself and you won't have to wait for me!
Regards,
Anthony
