SCCM 2012 R2 - Windows Updates

Can someone explain to me, I have SCCM 2012 R2 configured with WSUS and it is downloading the specified patches.

Now I want to start setting up deployment of patches to a few clients to test out.

Do I have to configure 'windows updates' as turned on, on the CLIENT machine?

Does the client machines settings for 'windows updates' have to be disabled or enabled' in order for me to deploy patches via SCCM 2012 R2.

I do have the agent installed on the desktops.

Thanks

If you mean that you have to enable Configure Automatic Updates than the answer is no. The ConfigMgr client will make sure that the WUA agent will perform its required actions. For more information about ConfigMgr software updates and GPOs, see this blog series by Jason:
