    Using SMS 2003 SP1 for Office and Windows Update!

    Hello to everyone tech out there. Just a small request here, I have from last week configured the ITMU tool on SMS to deploy updates to clients machines. Everything seems to be working fine but now, how do I configure the clients to use sms server as an update server. Instead of always using the windows update to get the updates?

    Thanks

    Thuso


    Just a man above

    turn off automatic updates (via GPO or however)

    Set the SMS server to PUSH updates (rather than client pull) the package will have all the updates, but is smart enough to determine which machine needs what updates. when you have the server set to PUSH, all you will need to do is schedule a reboot. If you have the client set to PULL then you have greater control of when the updates get installed and can then do the reboot straight after.

    Hi everybody,

     Can Some body provide the tutuorial for installing and configuring Inventroy Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) so that Clients should use SMS 2003 Server as update Server rather then downloading updates from the internet.
