Collections for the applications are only on 5-20 machines

[Fanceth]

Hello,

Sorry if this was already asked but I could not find it. When people deploy updates are they just deploying all updates to all workstations? I have created collections for the most widely used applications but it will get very tedious creating collections for the applications that are only on 5-20 machines. Please let me know what other people are doing for this.

Hello Fanceth,

Its OK to deploy a Software Update Group (SUG) to all workstations for third-party updates. Only the workstations that require the updates in the SUG will install them.

You can, of course, exclude specific logical units from those collections if you know they will never need the third party updates you are deploying.
