We are currently using SCCM 2010 for software deployments and inventory,and=
will add Forefront at some point in the future. However, our foray into u=
sing it for software updates with Windows and Office raised some concerns. =
The Notifications are less user friendly than the ones used with standard =
Windows Updates via Microsoft and WSUS. After much research, it appears th=
at the SCCM Notifications are not customizable and, when a reboot is requir=
ed after updates are installed, the window is limited to 2 hours and not ex=
tendable. I am wondering if anyone has rolled out SCCM 2012 or begun testi=
ng it and has any experience with the software update component of it.
Any thoughts, or comments, on this would be very much appreciated...
