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

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!
I have used the same in collection quiries.. Min version i.e R2 client and lessthan CU3 version to get all R2 clients without cu3 patch.
I dont see any error in configmgrsetup.log but logs have been stopped after rebooting.
hi eswar ,
I am new to SCCM 2012 group and i have knowledge on sccm2007. i want to discuss some issue what i have with SCCM2012 installtion. The issue is my machine got rebooted while installing sccm 2012 SP1.i have already installed all the prerequisites for SCCM2012.i am installing sccm2012 on Hyper-V machine.
Please see my system configuration below:
DomainController(2008R2 server) : 512MB RAM, AD things and DNS ,DHCP has installed on it.
System center server(2008R2) : 1028MB RAM , Sql 2008 server installed on it.
i tried to install it many times but still i got the same issue.
Could you please help me with this ?
what issue are you getting ? you never said the error message.what does the configmgrsetup.log syas ?
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.
Yes,I hope so,I havent over looked into it but it also upgrades to the new version.
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.
check the quotes ,they will be replaced to fancy by browser.try to replace ' and " using the quotes and try.
My Question here can I directly upgrade it to SCCM 2012 to SCCM 2012SP1 CU3
nope,you must have CM12 SP1 before you install CU3 hotfix.More info http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2882125
Great Post! However, the SQL query for the Console Update is missing "select" at the beginning of the query.
thanks for the correction.updated the blog
Hi Your blogs are good, I like it.
I need to advice from you.
My system center configuration manager just 2013.
What s the upgrade procedure for SCCM 2012 SP1 CU 3
And hope SCCM 2012 R2 is not good for production use.
Thanks
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.
