As far as I can tell, deleting updates from a Deployment Package does NOT delete it from the source location/share. Further, if you "Update Distribution Points" of the package, they will still get all of the updates in the package, and not the
ones that are still listed in the Software Updates of the Deployment Package. You can add, but you can't remove updates. So what I'm left with are multiple copies of expired and superceeded updates (that can't even be deployed
in the case of expired) that I'd have to manually remove from the source location/share and then go manually update my Distribution Points. Great Scott, this is stupid. Why did i ever integrate WSUS into SCCM? WSUS was easy.
SUP is NOT. (oh yea, I can't distribute updates over the internet to remote clients with WSUS... I wonder what it will actuall take to make that work in SCCM- haven't even tried that yet. Too busy just trying to get
basic functionality out of this obtuse, convoluded product that does NOTHING OOB and does nothing to help automate ANY portion of it's setup... Sheesh).
