We are using SCCM 2007 Software Updates to deploy updates to our clients. We are facing the following problem:
If in one existing deployment an update expires, this update will not deployed furthermore to our clients.
In Technet (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632404.aspx) you can find the following description:
Operational Concerns: Expired software updates should be replaced when possible.Expired software updates that have been deployed continue to work and will continue to be tracked for software update compliance.Expired software updates are considered "not required" for reporting purposes.
In our case clients do not get the expired updates. In our Deployment we have set a deadline for the update and the clients are added to the target collection for the deployment. The deployment exists with the same settings before the updates are expired. The clients get all updates but the expired (no difference if the deadline is reached).
Can anyone explain what happens or have I misunderstood the MS article?
