Yeah you can use PATCH= and the full path to the CU4 update. Remember there are x86 and x64 so you would need to different commands for this

So the client gets installed with CU4? Is ccmsetup.exe PATCH=xxxx still the way to perform it? X64 vs. x86 will the patch pick up the version of client?

If you want to do in controlled manner, few systems at time. THEN Create collection for CU4 update and deploy CU4 package on the collection. moving systems set by set for installation.

I don't like using packages when I can avoid it. I'd be curious to know why MS has the CU4 installer create packages instead of applications, but that's now really germane to this discussion. I got it figured out---seemed to be just an issue with that one test machine. I ended up rolling the patch into the install/upgrade with (ccmsetup.exe PATCH=xxxx) and having the application's detection criteria check for both the R2 productID and the 5.0.7958.1501 (CU4) patch level. http://blogs.technet.com/b/jamess_configmgr_blog/archive/2012/02/11/installation-of-configmgr-client-hotfixes-during-client-installation.aspx It's working well so far on other machines and I get the added benefit that if it fails it will retry because it's an application.

Just deploy these (remember to distribute), it’s what they are there for :).

Our system was SCCM 2012 SP1. I upgraded the site server to 2012 R2 CU4. I now need to update the client systems I know I can do automatic upgrade, but I also want to create an application for the new client to target machines during a maintenance window before turning on automatic updating. I created an application basically just using the same install command that the built-in update package uses after installing R2. I have the detection criteria set to look for {8864FB91-94EE-4F16-A144-0D82A232049D}. Anyway, it's doing something I've NEVER seen in all my years working with SCCM 2012. The application starts and I'm viewing the AppEnforce.log: "Waiting for process 6920 to finish. Timeout = 15 minutes" And there it sits, FOREVER. Long past the 15 minute timeout. ccmsetup.exe is tied to process 6920 in this case. It starts, uninstalls ccmexec.exe, reinstalls it, then ccmsetup.exe closes, meaning process 6920 closes from the list of running processes. Yet there it sits. So the client is successful, but it never seems to "finish" properly. My initial thought is that it is getting messed up because it's the client and it's reinstalling, so who knows how that will make the logs look to me. I knocked down the timeout down to 15 minutes to at least see if it terminates itself with an error, but no, it just sits. How are others deploying UPGRADES to SCCM 2012 R2 clients? And for that matter, how are folks handling the subsequent client update to CU4? Are y'all just using the built-in packages and hoping they work? I wanted to try it as an application because: A. it would check for failure and try again until it was successful B. I created an app for the R2 upgrade and another one for the CU4 patch, then made the CU4 patch application depend on the R2 Upgrade application Am I just making this all harder on myself?
