The software update files are the actual files that the client downloads, such as an .exe, a Windows Installer file (.msi), a Microsoft Update Standalone Package (.msu), or a Windows Installer patch (.msp), and then installs to update a component or application. The software update file might be stored on a WSUS 3.0 SP2 server that is configured to be a software update point, but it is always stored on distribution points for the site when the software update is downloaded or deployed. The process is as follows:
1. Software update files are retrieved from either the upstream server or Microsoft Update. An upstream server is a software update point higher in the Configuration Manager 2012 hierarchy.
2. The updates are then copied to distribution points when the software update is downloaded using the Download Software Updates Wizard or deployed to clients using the Deploy Software Updates Wizard. Both methods are covered in detail later in this chapter.
3. Both methods download the software update files to a temporary location on the site server hard drive.
4. The site server creates and stores a compressed package file containing the software update.
5. It decompresses the package file.
6. Then it copies the update file to the content library on the distribution point.
