CU5 updates the SCOM console as well. Is it possible to slipstream or package the CU5 console update to a single install file or source? Without having to run the CU5 hotfix installer?

Hi, I believe the answer is no. If it was possible I'm sure that Kevin would have mentioned it here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2011/08/03/opsmgr-2007-r2-cu5-rollup-hotfix-ships-and-my-experience-installing-it.aspx Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, Unfortunately, It's not possible to slipstream Cumulative Update to SCOM sources. Christopher Keyaert - My OpsMgr/SCOM & Opalis/Orchestrator blog : http://scug.be/blogs/christopher

you can cut unpacket CU5 folder to hold only console files and use it. it was initial question, wasn't it? Kevin's blog. Adapt it for CU5. 3. Update the dedicated consoles only

Thank you. I've gone with Kevin's approach of using a custom folder with only necessary console files.
