Description

Use this cmdlet to configure settings in the Software updates group of client settings. For more information, see About client settings: Software updates.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Enable third-party updates in the default client settings

Set-CMClientSettingSoftwareUpdate -DefaultSetting -Enable $true -EnableThirdPartyUpdates $true

Example 2: Enable third-party updates in a custom device setting

$clientDeviceSettingName = "Dev device settings"
Set-CMClientSettingSoftwareUpdate -Name $clientDeviceSettingName -Enable $true -EnableThirdPartyUpdates $true

Example 3: Configure multiple settings

Set-CMClientSettingSoftwareUpdate -InputObject $testsetting -Enable $true -ScanSchedule $Sch1 -DeploymentEvaluationSchedule $Sch2 -BatchingTimeout 3 -TimeUnit Days -EnforceMandatory $true -Office365ManagementType $false -EnableThirdPartyUpdates $true -EnableDeltaDownload $true -EnableInstallation $true -ThreadPriority Normal -EnableDynamicUpdate $true

Parameters

-BatchingTimeout

Specify the period of time for which all pending deployments with a deadline in this time will also be installed. Use this parameter with the EnforceMandatory parameter. You can enter a value from 1 to 23 hours, and from 1 to 365 days. By default, this setting is configured for seven days. Use the TimeUnit parameter to specify hours or days.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DeploymentEvaluationSchedule

Specify how often the software updates client agent reevaluates software updates for installation status on Configuration Manager client computers. To create a new schedule token, use the New-CMSchedule cmdlet.

Type:	IResultObject
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Enable

Set this parameter to $true to enable software updates on clients.

Set this parameter to $true to allow clients to download delta content when available. To configure the network port, use the DeltaDownloadPort parameter.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-EnableDynamicUpdate

Applies to version 2010 and later. Set this parameter to $true to enable dynamic update for Windows 10 feature updates.

Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ThreadPriority

Applies to version 2010 and later. Specify a thread priority for Windows 10 feature updates.

• Normal: Windows Setup uses more system resources and updates faster. It uses more processor time, so the total installation time is shorter, but the user's outage is longer. This value is the default.

• Low: You can continue to work on the device while it downloads and updates in the background. The total installation time is longer, but the user's outage is shorter. You may need to increase the update max run time to avoid a time-out when you use this option.

Type:	ThreadPriorityType
Accepted values:	Normal, Low
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
