That’s unfortunate. Was hoping for some improvements to this in 1706.

I upgraded to 1706 a few weeks back.  I enabled express updates and I am not 
seeing the express folders being created when downloading the patches.   I have 
made all of the modifications necessary including the client settings and it 
doesn’t appear to be working correctly even with the latest build and client.  
Is anyone else seeing this?  Are the certain conditions that have to be met in 
order for this to work?

Hi all,

Do we know if this is fixed now in 1706? I’ve held off enabling express updates 
and now that we’re on 1706 I’ll enable it if it’s working obviously.

Daniel.

Not really a ‘bug’ – just a lack of understanding how BITS works by whoever 
wrote that piece..

‘Should be fixed in the 1706 Production release although it’s still broken in 
the TP.

Can’t speak for WSUS standalone – but don’t think Express updates apply to Win7 
anyway?

I’ve seen various threads complaining about performance though – so I would 
wait a while before enabling this again.

Should be fixed in the next version of ConfigMgr. Known issue.

Basically you get a BITS job for each “delta” in the patch, making it very 
slow… look at it as “free” bandwidth management! 😊

Is this “bug” specific to the SCCM SUP implementation of Express Updates?  We 
recently enabled Express Updates on our WSUS server (servicing mainly W7 OS), 
and I am less than impressed on the results.  It seems that clients take longer 
to download/install updates now than they did before.

We are having issues getting Windows 10 distributed to slower sites, so we 
reached out to Microsoft, which suggested using Express updates. We turned it 
on and during testing experienced severe performance issues. It took 40 hours 
to download and install patches using Express Updates. Another machine on the 
same subnet, same DP, NOT using express updates took 15 minutes to download, 
install, and reboot. Not to mention the package grew from 4GB to 24 GB.

We reached out to Microsoft with our testing results and expressed our 
concerns; they confirmed “there was a bug that they found that causes clients 
to create numerous BITS jobs (one for each byte range for the deltas to the 
package).  Each of those jobs has it's own overhead, and latency amplifies 
that.” They did confirm the fix for express updates is in escrow for the next 
Current Branch release, which should be in the next month or so.

As others have stated Express updates are not ready for prime-time.

Subject: [mssms] 1702 Express Install Files

Is anyone using this feature in SCCM 1702? I was really looking forward to 
getting this up and running after the 1702 upgrade but I am a little 
disappointed with the results I am seeing.

I understand the initial download is larger and I am okay with that, my patch 
package jumped from 13.1GB to nearly 44GB so the 2-3X size increase was pretty 
accurate. My issue is the time that it is taking to install the cumulative 
update, it is taking almost 3+ hours on my test machines. The machines are all 
W10 1607 with the latest April update applied, everything in the log files 
(deltadownload.log) indicates all is well and they are using the express files 
to install. It just takes forever to apply the update.

Is anyone else experiencing very long install times using the express install 
files? I am going to test a 1703 machine today to see if it makes any 
difference.

Thanks
Carl
