That would exclude it from his main Software Update deployments, but it would not in and of itself allow those clients to obtain their updates directly from Microsoft.

Add your Win7x86 clients to the AD group. Use the Exclude Collection rules and add it to you Prod security updates collection?

Is there a way to have a small number of clients ignore any Windows Updates settings and just go out to Microsoft for their updates as if they had never heard of SCCM and WSUS? My scenario is this. We have allowed 10 or so Windows 7 x86 machines onto the domain for various reasons, while the other 20,000 systems are all Win7 64bit. Rather than check in 32 bit updates every month and all the overhead that entails for a fraction of a percent of machines, I would just like to force those 10 machines to go out to Microsoft for patches. I still want the SCCM agent to collect HW/SW inventory for those machines though. I have a GPO set to force the machines to apply updates once a week, but their definition of what updates to apply seems to be coming from the MP/WSUS server still. They don't find any updates because I have never checked in/approved any 32 bit patches. Can I "opt-out" a set of machines from the SCCM patching system and allow them to go back out to MS Windows Update while keeping the SCCM agent installed? Can a GPO override the settings from SCCM? It seems like it's an all or nothing thing. Currently on SCCM 2007, but am interested if 2012 changes the answer as that is only a month or two away. ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential and may be legally privileged.
