SCCM SCUP 2017 How to Publish 3rd Party App Patches ConfigMgr | Configuration Manager Endpoint Manager

SCCM SCUP 2017 How to Publish 3rd Party App Patches ConfigMgr | Configuration Manager Endpoint Manager? I have published a post about the installation and configuration of the SCUP 2017 preview version.

You can have a look at that post before going through this post. More details SCUP 2017 Preview Installation and Configuration Video Guide. 

The SCUP installation process is straightforward. We have different workspaces in the SCUP console, similar to SCCM. In this post, we will see using SCCM SCUP 2017 How to Publish 3rd Party App Patches.

The first step is to import 3rd Party Application Catalog to SCUP 2017. Following are out-of-box Partner Software Update Catalogs available with SCUP 2017 preview version.

Adobe Acrobat X, Adobe Acrobat 11, Adobe Reader X, Dell Business Client, Dell Server, Fujitsu PRIMERGY, HP Client, and HPE ProLiant. This is also explained in the video here.

SCCM CB Settings before publishing SCUP 2017 App Updates

We need to add 3rd party applications to SCCM SUP products like Abode, Dell, Fujitsu, and HP. Navigate through SCCM Settings – Configure Site Components – Software Update Point – Products – Adobe Systems. Inc. – Abode Acrobat.

SCUP 2017 Publish 3rd Party Apps Updates to SCCM 

Now we are ready to publish the 3rd part of the app updates to SCCM. Right-click on all the updates from SCUP and publish them to SCCM CB.

Select the Automatic option while deploying the 3rd party app updates to SCCM. The automatic option is available only when SCCM integration is selected in SCUP.

Click Automatic to allow updates publisher to query SCCM to determine whether the selected software updates are published with full content or only metadata.

In this mode, software updates are only published when they meet the client request count, and package source size thresholds are specified on SCCM. Only the software update definition(metadata) is published if neither threshold is met.

We also need to Sign all software updates with a new publishing certificate when published software updates have not changed, but their certificate has changed.

SCCM Software Update Sync after Publishing 3rd Party Apps 

SCCM All Software Update Sync to have the newly added Acrobat 11 and other app product updates in the SCCM console.

From the SCUP console, we have published one new update. So the total 3rd party update count is 5. SCCM should have 5 Acrobat updates after the SYNC.
