System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) 4.0

Microsoft has released SCUP 4.0.  This allows you to create and maintain your own catalogue of updates for software update maintenance.

"Update Publisher enables administrators to do the following:

  • Import catalogs created by non-Microsoft organizations or created from within the administrator’s organization
  • Create applicability and deployment metadata for software updates.
  • Export software update catalogs so that they can be imported by Updates Publisher at another location, or export a test catalog to verify that the rules for the updates work as expected.
  • Manage software updates information

New in version 4.0

  • Ability to import and publish the following update types: bundle, driver, detectoid and updates with pre-requisites.
  • New “Software Update Details” view with “Dependencies” tab that displays update dependencies (prerequisites for a single update or children of an update bundle).
  • Note: none of the above update types can be duplicated or edited in the SCUP console (only export ,import, flag for publish, expire, delete and publish is available)"
