If you do supernetting then you should manually specify the SCCM site and 
you'll be fine. You can do that when you deploy the agent, either automatically 
or manually. (And it can be done with a registry key change and service restart 
on the client afterwards) (Specifying the site may be even a capability of the 
client utility. I can't remember off the top of my head, but it probably is.).

But no, it isn't officially supported.

Do you ever run into any problems with SCCM clients where folks have done 
supernetting of AD Sites?

Our SSCM guys are scared of it because they were told it could be problematic 
but we're tired of all the netlogon events we get on the DCs. We did an ADRAP 
and got dinged on it again this week and it came up again, the PFE said he 
didn't think it was a problem but could find articles in the internal KB/DLs 
where the SCCM team said worst case, it wasn't a supported configuration. I 
looked today and see the SCCM documentation team has even blogged about it.

So, I wouldn't do anything without a few hours of discovery.

But if you are just going to use it for patch management, say three days (worst 
case) to set it up and train someone how to deal with patches. Ongoing support 
is really no different than WSUS from my perspective.

"SCCM works very well if you have the time and staff to dedicate to it. I have 
about 1,000 PCs/ laptops here and tried SCCM, but never had the time to 
dedicate to it. And it was a real a pain to manage when you have limited time. 
But, it can be a great product and has flexibility. I wasn't willing to hire a 
staff member just for SCCM."

This is one of the things that concerns me....administrative overhead is not a 
luxury we've got. MBS says it "just runs" once it is setup....

So, what's it really take to get it running and keep it that way?

Also, I now know that we're initially focusing on strictly MS updates. Once MS 
patches are under reasonable control, we may look at 3rd party apps.
