Yes. The key point here is that the ConfigMgr client agent and the SCEP agent 
are truly two different agents that have nothing in common. ccmsetup and 
client.msi in no way install SCEP; Ccmsetup will copy scepinstall.exe to the 
client system, but it never installs it. This goes for the CU1 update as well - 
the MSP has nothing to do with SCEP itself. Scepinstall.exe is only invoked by 
the actual client agent because of machine policies as dictated by your client 
agent settings. You can update an existing scep installation using the KB 
published in the WSUS catalog (and thus also available in ConfigMgr software 
updates) or by enabling the auto-agent upgrade feature in ConfigMgr (which of 
course doesn't upgrade the ConfigMgr client agent, just the SCEP agent).

Subject: [MDT-OSD] SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 SCEP update important information.

Hi,

Just installed CU1 patch on our SCCM 2012 R2 Environment and noticed that the 
antimalware update discussed here is not part of the msp client patch:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2014/03/27/anti-malware-platform-updates-for-endpoint-protection-will-be-released-to-mu.aspx

This update gets replaced directly in the sccm client folder. Comparing the 
original and cu1 updated one you notice that both ccmsetup.cab and 
scepinstall.exe gets updated. This might not be an issue for some of you, but 
if you have copied your installation files somewhere else to use them with a 
startupscript or something else you will have to updates those files manually 
or otherwise the scep client wont be updated as expected.

If you dont update these files and use the "PATCH" property when installing new 
clients only the SCCM client will be updated to the new version but the scep 
client wont. Even rerunning the msp patch after the scep client have been 
installed won't update the SCEP client.

Hope this helps someone!

Regards
