[mssms] SCCM 2007: April 2017 Security Updates Expired

[RJ Subscriber]

Last month's Windows 7 rollup updates and the security only updates, which 
included the SMB worm patch are now expired in SCCM 2007.  That means we have 
to seriously accelerate the May cycle because we can't continue to patch from 
April or earlier.  I think this is an unintended consequence of the new Windows 
7 update cycle.  I just don't recall that security updates were killed so 
quickly before these changes.


We are busily migrating to SCCM 2012 but now we know there is a very short 
window from release date to deployment for our remaining SCCM 2007 clients and 
we'll handle it better next month.  OK, Microsoft, we'll work harder and 
finally shut SCCM 2007 down!

That’s where it gets more fuzzy. These are workgroup PCs, so using AD to 
specify the secondary site is a no-go.

Thank you,

If that are in separate domains then AD should tell them where to go.

Hey everyone,



I’ve got a situation where a couple of companies have merged together and have 
overlapping IP subnets and workgroup systems so a secondary site isn’t really 
working. They don’t plan to change their networks for a while but still want a 
single hierarchy instead of setting up multiple sites. Setting up boundaries 
for the second company is going to cause confusion on both sides so I’m hoping 
there’s a simple solution, that I just can’t find with my Google-Fu, to 
statically set the MP and DP for systems? Or would this just be as easy as 
adding entries into the LMHOST?



Thanks in advance,

Yep, seems to be an acknowledged issue. Seems the range requests are not quite 
right in some way which is resulting in slow downloads..
Couple of similar stories on Technet forums too so you are not alone 

Subject: [mssms] 1702 Express Install Files

Is anyone using this feature in SCCM 1702? I was really looking forward to 
getting this up and running after the 1702 upgrade but I am a little 
disappointed with the results I am seeing.

I understand the initial download is larger and I am okay with that, my patch 
package jumped from 13.1GB to nearly 44GB so the 2-3X size increase was pretty 
accurate. My issue is the time that it is taking to install the cumulative 
update, it is taking almost 3+ hours on my test machines. The machines are all 
W10 1607 with the latest April update applied, everything in the log files 
(deltadownload.log) indicates all is well and they are using the express files 
to install. It just takes forever to apply the update.

Is anyone else experiencing very long install times using the express install 
files? I am going to test a 1703 machine today to see if it makes any 
difference.

Thanks
Carl
