SharePoint Updates Deployment via SCCM

Question

SharePoint Updates Deployment via SCCM

Vikram Midha 26

Hi,

I have cross checked the internal SUP settings but there does not seem to be any particular category for enabling the SharePoint servers patches. The relevant Office classifications are all checked but the SharePoint updates does not appear in SCCM.

I am able to find them under WSUS but not in SCCM.

For reference - the latest release for 2016 server "Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 (KB5001946) farm-deployment" is showing up in WSUS but does not shows up in SCCM automatically.

Is this supported to deploy SharePoint updates via SCCM, if yes, how?

Thank You!

yes, I asked the same question to MS Support, it is not available via SCCM. This was their answer.

We cannot deploy the farm-deployment update using software update function via SCCM. This behavior was by design since SCCM doesn't sync Farm update.
Had a word with Sharepoint engineer:
Sharepoint updates itself are usually farm updates which means that you deploy it one sharepoint server and then use sharepoint itself to further deploy it. This is something you cannot handle with the updates deployment feature of SCCM.

I spent hours trying to find a solution. I can finally move on now.

Yes, this is supported. You need to have the Office 2016 product category selected as well as the Security Updates classification chosen.

Can you define what "does not shows up in SCCM automatically" means? How exactly are you trying to locate it?

Hi @Vikram Midha ，

Agree with Jason, we need to select the corresponding tab in classification and product of software update point.
Here is some screenshot we could refer to:

Hello @Jason Sandys

The specified classifications are already checked a long time now and i have been getting all security updates as well as the ones for Office 2016.

What I meant was that if I go ahead and search the same update, which is not available in SCCM. I can find that in WSUS directly. Here is a screenshot to what I am referring to.

How are you searching for it in ConfigMgr?

Have you validated that it is not declined in WSUS?

Have you searched the wsyncmgr.log for this update?

How are you searching for it in ConfigMgr?

via the normal "software updates" section.
"

Have you validated that it is not declined in WSUS?

yes, its not. This has similar setting to any other update, which were recently synced.

Have you searched the wsyncmgr.log for this update?

there are no entries for this update in the sync logs as they are not getting synced. this is the reason and issue that they are ultimately not reflecting in SCCM console, while they do show up in WSUS. Verified the same results with the latest sharepoint patch release - KB5002002

Thank You!

HI I have the same problem,
If I do a filter in the title for Sharepoint, i only get 2013 and no 2016 updates.. something is missing or not configured somewhere.

Office 2016 filter shows nothing either..
