Deploy Patches for specific computers in SCCM

Deploy Patches for specific computers in SCCM

In SCCM you can deploy patches to a collection of computers.
Sometime, we need to manually deploy specific patches to specific computers. Is there a way to select a specific computer and select the relevant MS Updates and deploy them to that selected computer ?

Thank you

Is it Possible to create an Empty Collection. Then whenever you need to Patch specific computer, you just need to add it the Empty collection and deploy patches to that collection, after done , you remove the computer from the Collection ?... .. I know it is not perfect, but can be a work around ....

IBM has a Tool(Not Free) that enables you to search for a computer , when you find it and select it, it will show you all the Updates needed for that computer, then you select the updates that you need to deploy to the computer and you proceed with deploying.. .
.I do not think SCCM has that feature

You can't deploy update directly to computer (at least as of now) as you mentioned you can create a collection and deploy the update, later you can add computers to this collection, in addition you don't need to remove the computer from the collection because the update will not install again and by keeping the computer in the collection you can keep tracking on computers that installed the update.
