Creating an SCCM Package to Add Windows Update Service Manager

Overview

This post provides a PowerShell script that creates an SCCM package to integrate a new service manager for managing and streamlining Windows Update services. This package helps streamline the management of Windows Update services across multiple systems, ensuring consistent application of updates.

Instructions

Copy the provided PowerShell script to a location on your SCCM server.
Adjust the script variables such as $SCCMServer, $SiteCode, and $PackageSourcePath to fit your environment.
Run the script in PowerShell to create the SCCM package for the Windows Update Service Manager.
Distribute the package to the appropriate distribution points within SCCM.
Monitor the deployment to ensure that the new service manager is successfully integrated across all targeted systems.

What the Script Does

This PowerShell script automates the creation of an SCCM package that integrates a new service manager for Windows Update services. The script checks for any existing packages with the same name and removes them to avoid conflicts. It then creates a new package that can be distributed to ensure efficient management of Windows Update services across your organization.

PowerShell Script

# Define Variables
$SCCMServer = "\\YourSCCMServer"
$SiteCode = "YourSiteCode"
$ScriptName = "Add-Windows-Update-Service-Manager"
$ScriptDescription = "This script integrates a new service manager for managing and streamlining Windows Update services."
$PackageSourcePath = "C:\Scripts\$ScriptName"

# Load SCCM PowerShell Module
Import-Module "$($Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH)\..\ConfigurationManager.psd1" -Force

# Connect to the SCCM Site
cd "$SiteCode`:"

# Check if a package with the same name exists and delete it
$ExistingPackages = Get-CMPackage -Name $ScriptName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if ($ExistingPackages) {
    Write-Host "Existing package(s) found. Deleting..."
    foreach ($Package in $ExistingPackages) {
        Remove-CMPackage -Id $Package.PackageID -Force
    }
    Write-Host "Existing package(s) deleted."
}

# Create the Package Source Directory if it does not exist
if (!(Test-Path -Path $PackageSourcePath)) {
    New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $PackageSourcePath -Force
}

# Create the PowerShell script
$ScriptContent = @'

$ScriptPath = "$PackageSourcePath\Add-Windows-Update-Service-Manager.ps1"
Set-Content -Path $ScriptPath -Value $ScriptContent

# Create the SCCM Package
$Package = New-CMPackage `
    -Name $ScriptName `
    -Description $ScriptDescription `
    -Path $PackageSourcePath

# Create a Program for the Package
$Program = New-CMProgram `

# Distribute the Package to the Distribution Point but do not deploy
Start-CMContentDistribution `
    -PackageName $ScriptName `
    -DistributionPointName "YourDistributionPointName"

Write-Host "Windows Update Service Manager package and program created and distributed successfully in SCCM, without deployment."
