Hello everyone!

Patch Connect Plus integrates directly into SCCM, publishing and deploying third-party updates using SCCM’s own console, database, and Software Update Point. While this deep integration ensures seamless third-party patching, it also ties your environment directly to SCCM’s fast-moving release cycle, where version 2409 reached end-of-support in June and 2503 follows on September 30.

Adding to this is Microsoft’s deprecation of WSUS—the underlying infrastructure—which remains supported but will receive no new features. Without a clear plan, staying on an expiring SCCM build or relying on stagnant WSUS infrastructure leaves your patching exposed to compliance failures and unmitigated security risks.

If you're using Patch Connect Plus and thinking about what's next, this thread is the place to ask. Here's what we can help you with:
