Prerequisites for Software Updates in SCCM

Before you can plan and set up the Software Updates feature, you need to be familiar with its components, so you can determine which ones to install and configure for your environment.

External prerequisites to the Configuration Manager Software Updates feature.--

• Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 or later
• WSUS 3.0 Administrator Console or later
• Windows Update Agent (WUA) 3.0 or later
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.5
• Windows Installer 3.1
• Site server communication to the software update point (SUP)

 Of course, you will also need to configure a SQL Reporting Services (SRS) reporting point before you can use the Software Updates reports.
