Location of Windows Updates download with ConfigMgr

    Hi lalanc01 ,

     

    ConfigMgr always downloads content to ccmcache. For updates specifically, they are then copied to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download so that the Windows Update Agent/client can install the updates. I don't think this is explicitly documented anywhere though.
