SCCM R2 Automatic updates not allowed.
Hello All,
We have an SCCM 2007 environment with 1 primary server and 11 secondary servers.
We also use MS Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 for all our workstations and servers.
The issue I have is that SCCM 2007 does not support automatic approvals or downloads for updates or definitions like the ones for Forefront clients.
My question is this:
Is it possible for me to use the WSUS database installed for SCCM 2007 to allow the definitions and updates for Forefront Clients?
I'm hoping that I don't have to install another instance of WSUS, and that I can use the existing WSUS to setup automatic approvals and installations of all the Forefront definitions and updates.
Thanks.
AMpletrix.

Hello guys,
Thanks for the replies.
I knew that I couldn't auto approve updates in SCCM for Forefront, and that I can do it from WSUS.
My question is this:
Seeing that I have WSUS installed and NOT configured for SCCM, can I configure the same instance of WSUS as well?
Is it possible to use WSUS for Forefront updates and at the same time still use SCCM for all the remainder updates?
Thanks.

That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks npsingh123!
Can you remember if you had to do anything to SCCM or the WSUS to allow both to use the same instance?

This is from Wally Mead, Manager for SCCM

Here's the answer, straight from the dev lead and program manager:
SCCM 2007 doesn’t support deploying definition updates. Forefront is the right solution for deploying definition updates but right now they are targeting market with 5000-10000 clients.
They should be able to use WSUS to deploy the Forefront definitions.
