You remove updates from a software updates deployment package, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by obtaining an instance of the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class and using the RemoveContent method.

To delete updates from a software updates deployment package

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider.
Obtain an existing package object by using the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class.
Remove update content from the existing software updates management package by using the RemoveContent method.

Example

The following example method shows how to remove updates from a software updates deployment package by using the SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage class and the RemoveContent method.

Important

No VBScript example was included, as the RemoveContent method does not return from the method call on failure. This is a known issue and is being investigated.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Example of the method call in C#:

// Prework for RemoveUpdatesfromSUMDeploymentPackage.
// Define the array of Content IDs to load into the content parameters.
int[] newArrayContentIDs2 = new int[] { 82 };

// Load the update content parameters into an object to pass to the method.
Dictionary<string, object> removeContentParameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
removeContentParameters.Add("ContentIDs", newArrayContentIDs2);
removeContentParameters.Add("bRefreshDPs", true);

// Call the RemoveUpdatesfromSUMDeploymentPackage method.
SUMSnippets.RemoveUpdatesfromSUMDeploymentPackage(WMIConnection,
                                                  "ABC00001",
                                                  removeContentParameters);

public void RemoveUpdatesfromSUMDeploymentPackage(WqlConnectionManager connection,
                                                  string existingSUMPackageID,
                                                  Dictionary<string, object> removeContentParameters)
{
    try
    {
        // Get the specific SUM Deployment Package to change.
        IResultObject existingSUMDeploymentPackage = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_SoftwareUpdatesPackage.PackageID='" + existingSUMPackageID + "'");

        // Remove updates from the existing SUM Deployment Package using the RemoveContent method.
        // Note: The method will throw an exception, if the method is not able to add the content.
        IResultObject result = existingSUMDeploymentPackage.ExecuteMethod("RemoveContent", removeContentParameters);

        // Output a success message.
        Console.WriteLine("Removed content from the deployment package. ");
        
    }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to remove content from the deployment package. Error: " + ex.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

The example method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
connection	Managed: WqlConnectionManager	A valid connection to the SMS Provider.
existingSUMPackageID	Managed: String	The package ID for an existing software updates management package.
removecontentParameters	Managed: dictionary object	The set of parameters (ContentIDs, bRefreshDPs) that is passed into the method and used with the RemoveContent method call.
