Automatically deploy software updates - Configuration Manager

Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)

Use an automatic deployment rule (ADR) rather than adding new updates to an existing software update group. Typically, you use ADRs to deploy monthly software updates (also known as "Patch Tuesday" updates) and for managing Endpoint Protection definition updates. If you need help determining which deployment method is right for you, see Deploy software updates.

Create an automatic deployment rule (ADR)

Automatically approve and deploy software updates by using an ADR. The rule can add software updates to a new software update group each time the rule runs, or add software updates to an existing group. When a rule runs and adds software updates to an existing group, the rule removes all updates from the group. It then adds to the group the updates that meet the criteria you define.

Warning

Before you create an ADR for the first time, verify that the site has completed software updates synchronization. This step is important when you run Configuration Manager with a non-English language. Software update classifications are displayed in English before the first synchronization, and then displayed in the localized languages after software update synchronization completes. Rules that you create before you sync software updates might not work properly after synchronization because the text string might not match.

Process to create an ADR

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Software Library workspace, expand Software Updates, and select the Automatic Deployment Rules node.

  2. In the ribbon, click Create Automatic Deployment Rule.

  3. On the General page of the Create Automatic Deployment Rule Wizard, configure the following settings:

  4. On the Deployment Settings page, configure the following settings:

  5. On the Software Updates page, configure the criteria for the software updates that the ADR retrieves and adds to the software update group.

  6. On the Evaluation Schedule page, specify whether to enable the ADR to run on a schedule. When enabled, click Customize to set the recurring schedule.

  7. On the Deployment Schedule page, configure the following settings:

  8. On the User Experience page, configure the following settings:

  9. On the Alerts page, configure how Configuration Manager generates alerts for this deployment. Review recent software updates alerts from Configuration Manager in the Software Updates node of the Software Library workspace. If you're also using System Center Operations Manager, configure its alerts as well.

  10. On the Download Settings page, configure the following settings:

    Note

    Clients request the content location from a management point for the software updates in a deployment. The download behavior depends upon how you've configured the distribution point, deployment package, and the settings on this page.

  11. On the Deployment Package page, select one of the following options:

  12. On the Distribution Points page, specify the distribution points or distribution point groups to host the software update files. For more information about distribution points, see Distribution point configurations. This page is available only when you create a new software update deployment package.

  13. On the Download Location page, specify whether to download the software update files from the internet or from your local network. Configure the following settings:

  14. On the Language Selection page, select the languages for which the site downloads the selected software updates. The site only downloads these updates if they're available in the selected languages. Software updates that aren't language-specific are always downloaded. By default, the wizard selects the languages that you've configured in the software update point properties. At least one language must be selected before proceeding to the next page. When you select only languages that a software update doesn't support, the download fails for the update.

  15. On the Summary page, review the settings. To save the settings to a deployment template, click Save As Template. Enter a name and select the settings you want to include in the template, then click Save. To change a configured setting, click the associated wizard page and change the setting.

  16. Click Next to create the ADR.

After you complete the wizard, the ADR runs. It adds the software updates that meet the specified criteria to a software update group. Then the ADR downloads the updates to the content library on the site server and distributes them to the configured distribution points. The ADR then deploys the software update group to clients in the target collection.

Add a new deployment to an existing ADR

After you create an ADR, add additional deployments to the rule. This action helps you manage the complexity of deploying different updates to different collections. Each new deployment has the full range of functionality and deployment monitoring experience.

Process to add a new deployment to an existing ADR

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Software Library workspace, expand Software Updates, select the Automatic Deployment Rules node, and then select the desired rule.

  2. In the ribbon, click Add Deployment.

  3. On the Collection page of the Add Deployment Wizard, configure the available settings similarly as the General page of the Create Automatic Deployment Rule Wizard. For more information, see the previous section on the Process to create an ADR. The rest of the Add Deployment Wizard includes the following pages, which also match detailed descriptions above:

Deployments can also be added programmatically using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. For a complete description of using this method, see New-CMSoftwareUpdateDeployment .

For more information about the deployment process, see Software update deployment process.

Process to create a folder for automatic deployment rules

(Starting in version 2207)

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Software Library workspace, and then go to Automatic Deployment Rules.

  2. From the ribbon or right-click menu, and in the Automatic Deployment Rules select from the following options:

Folder creations can also be added programmatically using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. For a complete description of using this method, see

Known issues Error code 0x87D20417

Scenario: When running Configuration Manager version 2010, you may notice that an automatic deployment rule fails and returns Last Error Code of 0x87D20417. In the PatchDownloader.log, you see Failed to create temp file with GetTempFileName() at temp location C:\Windows\TEMP\, error 80 and 0-byte files in the %temp% directory.

Workaround: Remove all the files from the temp directory specified in the PatchDownloader.log and rerun the ADR.

Resolution: Install KB 4600089, Update Rollup for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager current branch, version 2010.

Script to apply deployment package settings for automatic deployment rule

If you create an ADR with the No deployment package option, you're' unable to go back and add one later. To help you resolve this issue, we've uploaded the following script into Community hub:
