Hi,

Deploying updates or hotfixes for ODBC and OLEDB using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) involves several steps.

Here’s a general process you can follow:

1. Download the Update Packages: Microsoft releases hotfix packages for ODBC and OLEDB drivers to address important security issues. You can directly download these packages from the Microsoft website.
2. Create a Software Update Group: In SCCM, you can create a Software Update Group for the patching process. This group will contain the updates that you want to deploy.
3. Create a Deployment Package: After creating a Software Update Group, you can create a Deployment Package. This package will contain the binaries of the updates.
4. Deploy the Updates: Once the Deployment Package is created, you can deploy it to the desired collection of computers.
5. Monitor the Deployment: After the deployment, you can monitor the status of the deployment to ensure that the updates are installed successfully.
