The deployment of updates is a very important process, allowing you to protect the managed environment. Administrators often use the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server to deploy patches to the operating systems and software.
Integrating the WSUS server with the ConfigMgr server significantly broadens capabilities for software and operating system patching. And if there is a need, it is possible to deploy patches not just for Microsoft software solutions using System Center Updates Publisher. The mentioned solution would allow you to publish third-party software updates on the WSUS server.
When managing updates, it is not that important what software is used--whether it is WSUS, ConfigMgr, or Patch Manager. What is important is knowledge of patches and when they need to be deployed and on which workstations--this task is much harder...
