Not supported always carries the label of use at your own risk. Why would you do that if there are recommended and fully supported methods for performing the same thing?

As it turns out, this little known feature was little known for a reason - it was not fully tested for use with Configuration Manager 2007. As a result, it is not supported. In this context, "not supported" means that if you reported problems with the use of the ClientPatch folder directly - or problems as a result of its use - we would not change the product code to resolve those. In the event you have already deployed your clients and patched them in this manner but have no known issues, chances are there's nothing to worry about.

Also remember, not everything is documented - in fact, very few things compared to the number of possibilities is actually documented.

With 2007 there were some issues that the ccmsetup parameters weren't applied when using this method, with 2012 I've noticed that the client actually installs the normal SP1 client first (with the setted parameters) and applies the msp afterwards. I haven't heard that anyone has had any issues with CM12. -T On 22.7.2013 19:32, Jason Sandys wrote: This is totally and explicitly unsupported because it is known to have issues - it is essentially left over code from SMS 2003.

CU2 then installs during a client install without any CCMSETUP command line switches.
