Hi,

I have imported exchange management, SCCM, SCVMM IP. Trying to create the individual activities before combining them into single runbook for OS patching.

MBX DB failover -> OS patch for Exchange -> Shutdown Exchange -> Pause Hyper-V host -> Live migration VMs -> Patch Hyper-V host -> Reboot Hyper-V host -> Resume Hyper-V host -> Power up Exchange -> Move back MBX DB.

So far it works well except not too sure how to create activities for SCCM/patching.  Any advice?

Perhaps something as following,

Create collection -> Deply Software update -> Get collection -> Get Deployment status -> Restart System

Anyone has simple steps-by-steps guide without scripting?

Regards,

Hi Kelvin,
