PENDING How to deploy Windows update on a specific day and time

[CodyB]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to deploy Windows Update on a specific Date and Time via SCCM to my test environment. I created the software package 2 days before the designated deployment. I checked the deployment monitor on SCCM console 2 days later and found that it was not deployed, Compliance% 0.0. Here are screenshots on my package deployment. Let me know what I did wrong and how to configure

What's the maintenance window time frame for those test clients you are trying to deploy to? Do they have a maintenance Window at 2 AM on that day?

No, it does not have any maintenance window. Should it have it? Is that the problem, not having it?

Yes you need to set a Maintenance Window, without that window the computers will never install anything. Set the Maintenance window in the time frame you want to allow for installations to happen and then deadline your updates within that timeframe. Be sure to give it enough time to actually install updates. so at least 2-3 hours. You can always tell a deployment to allow installation outside of a maintenance window but then it can be that it installs it whenever it want too.

Thanks, let me configure test device collections maintenance windows and reconfigure the monthly deployment test and will update the ticket for success or not

Looks like my test did not deploy earlier this morning. I believe I'm still missing something. I've got the Maintenance Schedule set for daily on the Test Device and gave it enough time slot for the deployment, see screenshots of the maintenance, and schedule. My other software updates were okay - they were set to as soon as possible and to maintenance windows set on the same test device collection. What am I missing?
