We use a separate update group and collection, excluding the systems that have 
issues.

Subject: [mssms] Excluding single software update

 

Hi Everyone,

 

What’s everyone doing if you have to exclude a single update to certain systems 
for SCCM 2012 or Current Branch?  Are you creating separate update groups, one 
with the patch and another without the patch and creating multiple collections?

 

Every so often it comes up that a particular patch causes conflict on a small 
number of systems which then has to be prevented from installing.  To keep it 
simple we usually have a monthly software update group that has several 
deployments with different options for servers and workstations.  Those 
deployments go to the same collections each month, one for servers, one for 
workstations.  So if a new software update group is created then the systems 
that can’t have the patch would have to be excluded from the existing 
collection so they don’t receive the patch, which will start to get messy down 
the road.

 

Just trying to get an idea what everyone else is doing in this scenario.

 

BTW there is feedback to add the ability to exclude a patch from going to 
systems which would simplify things:

Thanks,
