At one of my customers, I was working on setting up a SCCM2012 environment. The environment includes a Central Administration Server and a Primary Site Server. The Software Update Point role was already installed on the CAS, but not on the primary. Clients in the primary site aren’t able to retrieve Windows Updates directly from the CAS, therefore …
