Now, let’s understand how to build SCCM ADR Failure Alerts Setup Using ConfigMgr (a.k.a SCCM) Subscriptions. I saw a question in the HTDM Forum about alerts for ADR failures. Learn How do we monitor ADR sync failures from SCOM?
An Automatic Deployment Rule (ADR) streamlines the approval and deployment of software updates. The Rule efficiently incorporates software updates into either a new software update group with each run or into an existing group, providing flexibility and ease of management.
I already explained how to create an SCCM Automatic Deployment Rule. Ensure you have hotfixes/patches available under \Software Library\Overview\Software Updates\Automatic Deployment Rules.
