Hi, I'd like to get this clarified - to patch 3rd party apps on Arc-enabled servers with AUM I need local instance of WSUS so I have 2 questions: Does WSUS have to be standalone, or it can be WSUS managed by Configuration Manager (SUP role)? If Arc-enabled servers are in other forest than WSUS' one, does that matter since I found this: I have a line of sight from Arc-enabled servers to WSUS (tcp/8530, 8531) managed by Configuration Manager and deployed WSUS CA chain to TRCA store on all Arc-enabled servers with GPO but having completed assessment on one of the Arc-enabled servers I do not see updates for WireShark.

Hi, Azure Update Manager does not support patching third party apps. Can you specify where you got that statement from? Additionally I believe WSUS also cannot patch third party apps so your only option is SCCM. As you you have opened this question with Azure Update Manager tag if you have questions for WSUS or SCCM to open new ones with the corresponding tags. Please " Accept the answer " if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.

You are referring to some third party tool that is doing the patching. Officially Azure Update Manager does not supports updating third party apps. If this tool is somehow providing support you should contact the support team of that tool. These forums are only for Microsoft supported services, tools and software. Keep in mind that is unclear if can get official support from Azure when using Azure Update Manager with that tool. You should check with your Microsoft account manager to avoid any issues with the official Azure support in case you need it. I would advise you to still mark the reply as answer.

It seems that WSUS must be standalone. Case closed.
