Deploy Software Updates with Configuration Manager 2012 for ZTI Deployments

In ZTI deployments using Configuration Manager 2012, you can initiate software updates using a task sequence step based on the Install Software Updates task sequence step type. The Install Software Updates task sequence type allows you to install only mandatory or all software updates in a single task sequence step using one of the configuration options listed in Table 169.
