How to Configure and Deploy Updates

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

You create a software updates deployment, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by creating an instance of the SMS_UpdatesAssignment Server WMI Class and populating the properties.

To configure and deploy updates

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.

  2. Create the new deployment object by using the SMS_UpdatesAssignment class.

  3. Populate the new deployment properties.

  4. Save the new deployment and properties.

Example

The following example method shows how to create a software updates deployment by using the SMS_UpdatesAssignment class. Note that the parameters of the example method reflect certain properties of SMS_UpdatesAssignment.

Important

The methods below require an array of the assigned configuration items (CI_IDs). The update content for these CI_IDs must have already been downloaded and added to an updates deployment package.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
