Apparently either System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or System Center Essentials 2007 are required. I found one page that talks about the API requirement (it's not just licensing, there are SCCM or SCE files used by SCUP) and I have found a good many pages that talk about deploying with SCCM.
I don't find where it is possible to deploy updates WITHOUT SCCM or SCE. We have SCCM, but I don't use it for MS updates. At present our WSUS server can update laptops taken off site, but our SCCM server is not (and will not) be available off site. (Although we are looking into MS Direct Access, that is another whole can of worms.) Is it possible to use SCUP with the built in API from SCCM to build an update, publish it to WSUS and deploy it directly from WSUS without using the deployment mechanism within SCCM itself?
