If you want to deploy software updates from a site server that doesn't have an internet connection, you have to manually do the two steps that normally require the internet:
- Synchronizing, which downloads the latest update definitions (this must be done first)
- Downloading desired update executable files
EditSynchronizing
See
How to Synchronize Updates Using Export and Import. The basic steps are:
- Do the synch on a server that does have internet access
- Export the data and copy to the server without internet access
- Import the synch data on the server without internet access
EditDownloading update executable files
The following is taken from
How to Manually Download Software Updates. See the original for the latest description.
To download a software update to a network shared folder
- In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Updates / Update Repository.
- Specify the software update to be downloaded. For more information, see How to Find Software Updates in Configuration Manager.
- Click the Content Information tab to display the Internet path to the source file for each supported language for the software update.
- To copy the row of text that contains the source file location, click the row, press CTRL-C on the row to copy it to the clipboard, paste the text to the Web browser, and then remove all text other than the source path.
- Enter the source file path in a Web browser on a computer that has Internet access, and download the file to a location on the network that is accessible to the site server.
To use the downloaded files in a deployment
From the site server, use the Download Updates Wizard to package the software update. Follow the wizard to the Download Location page, select Download software updates from a location on the local network, and then enter the network shared folder or local folder that contains the software update source file. Click Browse to open the Browse to Folder dialog box.
