CU1 for SCCM R2SP1 or SCCM SP2

Microsoft has just announced a CU for the latest release of SCCM.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3074857#/en-us/kb/3074857


One of the most sought after feature is the auto update of the clients after a CU or update has been installed to the infrastructure. 

Key points (see the KB abover for more):

  • Update version of the Endpoint Protection client
  • Task sequence packages are downloaded two times when the "Install software packages according to dynamic variable list" option is selected, and the variable SMSTSPersistContent is set to "False." The package is downloaded one time, deleted, and then downloaded again before the actual installation.
  • Fixing of Windows 10 driver import
  • Debian 8 is added to the list of supported platforms for software distribution.
  • An attempt to create a Microsoft Intune subscription fails when Configuration Manager is installed to the default path or to any path that includes a space in the directory name. Additionally, errors that resemble the following are logged in the SMSDmpDownloader.log

Two Microsoft articles about the CU are now here

Description of Cumulative Update 2 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2854009

Microsoft has publicly announced the availably of CU2 for ConfigMgr 2012 Sp1.

I will let you read the information for yourself but it fixes several issues for us.

CU1: Alternate port download for Windows update
CU2: Imaging over Alternate ports and BGB issue when using Custom Websites.

Like Cu1 you will need to have an update to the client pushed as well as an update to the Task Sequence for the client.

One thing I will need to test with this release is the need to repush the Boot.wim.  This would be necessary for the companies running over alternate ports.  It is also a good practice to create new boot media for your machines.

I hope to have this fully tested soon but none of what I have suggested is destructive to your enviroment.
