System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) 2017 is now avilable

System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) 2017 is now available

Using SCUP, you can:
  • Import updates from external catalogs (non-Microsoft update catalogs). 
  • Modify update definitions including applicability, and deployment metadata. 
  • Export updates to external catalogs. 
  • Publish updates to an update server. 

This release of SCUP adds support for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

Indexing for quicker imports of previously imported catalogs –  Catalog producers can now index their catalogs. This will allow users to more quickly import large catalogs containing few new updates.  

Inclusion of signing certificates within updates catalogs – Catalog producers can now include signing certificates with their updates catalogs.  This enables users to add the certificates to the trusted publishers list during import so that approval prompts will not block publish operations. 

Signature Timestamp – Updates published to a WSUS server will by default have the signature time-stamped.  Note, this functionality requires internet access. If you have upgraded from preview 1 this will not be automatically enabled.  To enable or disable this functionality or configure the timestamp server that is used, see the Advanced page under Options

This installer updated my preview 2 (ver 6.0.219.0) version of SCUP 2017 to production version (ver 6.0.278.0)
