The only criteria I use to create seperate deployments are: In addition, I would even use the same deployment management for various products. I would rather use 1 package per month, per quarter or even per year and create Search Folders to filter out only those you want to deploy. Apart from extra operational overhead, what added value does it bring? Because the 11.0.01 MUI-specific update does not appear in the catalog, this update must be applied outside of the SCCM-SCUP update process.I don't see a benefit in having a package per product. While most updates and out of cycle security patches are language agnostic, MUI installs require using a MUI update if there is one. The current SCUP catalog does not list the 11.0.01 update for MUI Reader. Why don’t I see the 11.0.01 MUI installer in the 11.0.02 SCUP catalog? These are not authored by Adobe and as per the message in the log must be present in the WSUS database. The dependencies listed in your log are the detectoids for X86 and 圆4 based systems described by Microsoft: There is no way to push these through SCUP as it is used for only third party updates. To fix this issue, resync the WSUS database to get the requisite public detectoids. ' Product : 'Adobe Reader' ) ' cannot be published as its dependency '59653007-e2e9-4f71-8525-2ff588527978' does not exist in both the updates publisher database and in WSUS.

For 10.x deployments, consider not using Supersedence as SCUP 4.5 does not support Supersedence properly.Do not use prerequisite rules in the catalog.Otherwise, dangling pointers will prevent you from expiring the actual WSUS package component without some serious hacks. Always expire a no longer used component to ensure its synchronized with the WSUS server and Configuration Manager Console before deletion. Deleting the catalog component in SCUP simply deletes the SCUP reference to the package component (i.e. Do not delete SCUP catalog components.For example, you could have an Active Directory Server define the managed domain anything outside that domain will not be managed by my SCCM server. Ensure all your managed clients are hosted within the desired domain, and that clients that should not be managed similarly are outside of that domain.Define boundaries for the managed environment.If you accidentally choose the wrong date or use the wrong UTC date setting, updates won’t be issued in the managed client. Once an update has expired, it will no longer be offered by the SCCM client. Consider whether or not you should mark an expiration time (deadline) for publication.Always refresh using the Refresh link or context sensitive menu item. Refresh often: Often once a task completes, updates may not appear in the various UI components and you may not see changes take affect.Doing so ensures the WSUS and Configuration Manager Console gets synchronized. Always Run Synchronization after integrating a SCUP catalog.Run Synchronization), some operations are batch processes that run in the background and take some time to complete. Be patient: While operations appear to return UI control back to the user immediately (i.e.Don’t test deployments during SCCM server changes.Verify patch installation on the intended target for a manual install first (outside SCCM context).

Admins should follow the Microsoft documentation and use whatever is appropriate for their environment. Every enterprise environment will be unique, and many configurations are possible. Administrators should refer to Microsoft’s documentation for information on installing and configuring the requisite components.
