Great video, a lot of very useful information, thank you for that!
One comment regarding 37:35, in order to manually trigger a delta sync, a SELF.SYN file needs to be created, according to the latest Microsoft Docs edited in 2022:
"To manually initiate a delta site wide synchronization, you can create a zero KB file named SELF.SYN in the Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Inboxes\WSyncMgr.box directory on the central administration site or standalone primary site server. Similarly, to initiate a full site wide synchronization, you can create a zero KB file named FULL.SYN in the same location."

Hello Sir, If I have my SCCM and Wsus on separate servers, Do I still need the Wsus console installed on my SCCM? thanks

It'd be nice to have an in-depth look at reporting, and report building, within MECM.

[@PatchMyPC]

Good topic for sure!

Thanks guys, would be great if you can make a video about deploying drivers using third-party catalog. How to select/filter the right drivers and how to deploy and troubleshoot this. 👍
