Hi,
I am looking for some guidance on how to integrate Patch Manager with Configuration Manager 2012.
In our production env. we are running CM2012 single site server to manage 600 laptops. For the time being we have SUP installed and configured and we are deploying MS updates on monthly basis.
That being said, we are purchase Patch Manager and we would like to integrate the product with CM 2012 in order to manage the non MS updates.
We have a lab env. that mimics the production CM2012 single site server as well as some Win7 ENT wireless clients. My understanding is that we have to install the Patch Manager server which we are going to use a dedicated server.
A few questions:
1.) Does PM leverage SUP?
2.) Installing the PM on it's dedicated server - Are the PM binaries going to detect the CM2012 installation?
3.) Are there any changes made on the CM 2012 console once the PM is installed?
On the TEST env. I am installing the PM server on its dedicated server as described in the Admin Guide pag 10 - Installingthe Patch Manager PAS then I am planning to use the Internal Database for the PM server and then select the System Center Configuration Manager Extension Pack.
I will continue the discussion with my findings/issues questions.
Any feedback assistance is welcome.
Thanks.
