SCCM versions preceding 1806 require the use of System Center Update Publisher (SCUP) as an external tool to publish third party updates to SCCM server. Patch Connect Plus offers update catalogs containing pre-tested third party patches, ready to be imported into SCUP in the form of CAB files. Once patches are published to SCCM using the update server, you can directly proceed with their deployment to client machines. This document explains about how to import third party patch catalog into SCUP.
