Is it downloading SU themselves or the detection method that is the problem? Keep in mind that cm07 doesn't like having two sup within hierarchy. Cm12 handles this better.

As Garth mentioned, there is a known bug in 2007 with adding a SUP to a secondary site after clients are already using that secondary site.

Also, as Garth is eluding to, only the update catalog comes from the SUP (really the WSUS instance where the SUP is installed). Update binaries always come from the DP so the value of a SUP at a secondary site is often pretty minimal.

We have raised MS support call , after a long investigation by the team , they have suggested to remove CCM_Updatesource.uniqueid from WMI from problematic PCs. we are trying that .
