Packages resides on HotFix Folder from your Configmgr Drive.image

Distribute these packages to selected distribution points,monitor the status(distmgr.log,sender.log and pkgxfermgr.log) .

We will now create collection for each update and then deploy the patch.

  1. This is a great help! Thank you, I am always nervous about using specific versions in my queries. I prefer to use a query with a minimum version and a "less than" or "greater than" condition. but multi-part versions can cause some real pain with that as well! Just something that has burned me in the past, and something to watch out for as the product moves ahead! Thanks again!

  3. Thanks, the quotes were exactly the problem.

    Another question, when you push the new, updated client, will that also update the SCEP that's installed, or, if none installed, will it install the new SCEP? I'm trying to get some Server 2012 R2 boxes protected.

  4. I copied and pasted the first query, for the console update, and when I clicked ok after pasting in the Query Statement, I got an error:

    This query has a syntax error. Are you sure you want to save it?

    Did I do something wrong?

    My system is at SP1, with no CU installed.

    1. there is no special instructions to upgrade from CM12 SP1 to CU3.close the console and start installing the CU3 hotfix.just follow the instructions step by step what it takes you.
