Some Questions i have after i have started pilot of the SCCM 2007 SUP , maybe these are simple . I would appreciate if any one can help me with these.

• If we have 10 update that show in " custom needed Search folder"  we created. How would i know which server needs it 
• If we add more applicable updates to deployment management , but change the collection it points to will the updates go to machines in other collection as well
• What if the machine is part of 2 collection. Which deployment management / maintenance window will be applicable to it . Provided that there are  different deployment managements going to different collections and they have different maintenance windows.
• How do we disable prompts for non-admin users and only prompt Admin users
• How do we know that all the updates in the deployment are available on the package

Thanks in advance

1 - Reporting is the best way to get this info.

2 - If the deployment is changed to a new collection, only the systems in that new collection will have the updates deployed to them. Any systems in the old collection will no longer have the updates deployed to them (unless those systems are in the new collection as well). This goes for any updates in the deployment -- newly added or previously existing.

3- Don't confuse deployments and maintenance windows, they are two different things; however, clients will be subject to all deployments and maintenance windows deployed to all collections that they are members of. 

4- Prompts are not based on the user's priviligese. They are either on or off for a deployment or for ConfigMgr.

5- There is a "Downloaded" field im the updates list that will tell you in the update has been downloaded. You can't tell which package the update is in specifically, but that doesn't specifically matter as the client will download an applicable update from any available package.

Side comment: ConfigMgr 2007 is 8 years old, is there a reason you are implementing it instead of 2012 R2? 

Thanks Jason

We have been using SCCM 2007 for 5 years  now for Software distribution / OSD.

We now wish to migrate from WSUS to SUP

Hopefully we will migrate our infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 someday
