We have separate SU Group and packages for each month and couldn't get the ADR process to handle this out of the box. I wrote a PowerShell script to handle all of it. It will create a new package and modify the ADR to use the new package, and then invoke the ADR. I also wanted more control over which updates get flagged when the ADR runs, so the script will also modify the search criteria each time it runs.

You can set the ADR up to download the updates into a new SU package, or a previously created one. However, suppose you wanted the ADR to create a new SU package each month, using variables such as %Month% or something along those lines. Is this even possible? The main driver for this is that with 160 DPs spread worldwide and some with very, very low bandwidth available, it's become increasingly difficult to push 6 and 9 GB packages across WAN links repeatedly, and even more so as a few new DPs are stood up every month.
