SCCM windows updates Auto Deployment

I am looking to Schedule the deployment of windows updates to a client using SCCM. So far this has been a manual process with the following:

  • Test machine Collection
  • IT Users Collection
  • Test Users Group
  • Day 1 Deplyment
  • Day 2 Deployment

I have created an Automated rule for the initial "Test Machine Collection" following PrajWaldesai but I would like to have the whole process automated something like:

  • Test machine Collection
- Patch Tuesday
  • IT Users Collection
- +24 Hours
  • Test Users Group
- +48 Hours
  • Day 1 Deplyment
- +4 Days
  • Day 2 Deployment
- +6 Days

I am sure that i am not the first looking to complete this and automate the global roll out of the updates and wondered if others could offer experience.

Or is it as simple as an automatic deployment rule for each collection.

OK, So created an initial Automatic deployment then created a template with the settings. From the template i created another deployment this time limited to the next Collection we want to test the deployment on (+2Days, or the 2nd Friday of Each Month)

Evaluation Schedule
I Set the Evaluation to the 2nd Friday of each month (18:30)
Deployment Schedule
Software Available time 2 Hours
Install Deadline
As Soon as Possible

Deployment Package > Selected the same package as used in the initial testing "Win7 AutoDeploy"

All other selections were the same as default.

So what i wanted to confirm is that this will complete as follows:

1- Patch Tuesday updates will sync as per the Schedule set
2- Initial Deployments will roll out 2am Weds AM to test machines
3 - 2nd roll out phase will the begin on the Friday

Any one see an issue with this and/or should this work as i expect and hope.
This will not work next month when SECOND Friday occurs before Patch tuesday.
ok...... Except for that..... i will jiggle for next month and December.... apart from that..
