John, yeah you make a good point, Amazon is just another data center so why bother with anything cloud. There must be some connection back to us, so just work with that. I’ll need to reach out to the person who asked the question, but that seems to be the right answer. It is also less work for me, so win/win!
Thanks Rob From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marcum, John Sent: Tuesday, June 2, 2015 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] SCCM In the Cloud I didn’t say “supported” I purposely said “there’s no technical reason why a ConfigMgr server in Azure can’t service your on-prem clients” because there isn’t. But my point was really more about servicing those Amazon hosted servers from on-prem. Why service them over the internet if there’s a VPN in-place? I don’t use Amazon cloud so I am basing my comments off of how a server in Azure connects to my on-prem environment and assuming it’s similar.

I believe that is a 2016 feature. (outside of cloud DPs) On Jun 2, 2015 1:10 PM, "Marcum, John" <[email protected]> wrote: I think “the cloud” just confuses people. It’s just another data center somewhere else, nothing more and nothing less. If those servers are on a VPN tunnel to your data center then there’s nothing to stop them from getting updates from your on-prem ConfigMgr. Just like there’s no technical reason why a ConfigMgr server in Azure can’t service your on-prem clients. It’s just another data center….

If I have SCCM 2012 and I’ll have 20 servers that are in the cloud, Amazon cloud to be specific, in order for them to be able to get patches/software distributions I would need the following: PKI Internet facing MP Cloud DP on Azure If I only wanted to patch the 20 servers in the cloud, I wouldn’t need the Cloud DP, since I could configure the server to use Windows Update to pull patches by selecting: If software updates are not available on preferred distribution point or remote distribution point, download content from Microsoft Updates when deploying my SUG. I’ve been lacking when it comes to working with Intune at all, so does Intune help with this scenario at all? If someone came and said to you I need to patch these 20 servers in the cloud within the next 3 weeks, what would be the approach you would take?
