Thanks for the feedback, updating status to Noted and moving to ‘Setup and Server Infrastructure’

Thank you for the documentation feedback. I created an issue on the relevant article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/core/servers/manage/modify-your-infrastructure#bkmk_dbconfig

I'll use this as the primary tracking for the doc suggestion
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/SCCMdocs/issues/987
I have a suggestion for the SMSSLP parameter and registry key.

Moving to client deployment, as this is product feedback. We explicitly removed SMSSLP parameter from documentation when SLP dropped. We don't recommend SMSSLP, it should be replaced by SMSMP.

I’m updating the status. For 1606 we’ve made some changes, listed below.
As more are added we’ll update what Tech Preview/Release they appear in.

Timeout scan is now configurable
We added a new task sequence variable to allow a configurable timeout for scan. Variable name is SMSTSSoftwareUpdateScanTimeout, default is 30 minutes. Value is set in seconds so an hour is 60×60=3600

Logging changes
In the SMSTS.log we list the log files to check for updates download and evaluation.
These are UpdateDeployment.log, UpdatesHandler.log, WUAHandler.log and WindowsUpdate.log

New Option for full scan
There’s a new checkbox added to the Install Updates step – ‘Evaluate software updates from cached scan results’
If the checkbox is on we use cached results, if the checkbox is off we do a full scan
Task Sequences that are upgraded will have this option checked on – this is parity with the existing behavior

Power management changes
Clients maintain active power state during OS deployment Software Updates tasks.
Some devices (Surface Pro 3 for example) were going into Connected Standby state preventing completion of deployment, this was occurring in the Install Updates step

Windows upgrade roll ups
These are now filtered from the list of applicable updates

Justin/Thomas - can you please expand on this with some more details? Have you filed support cases or Connect feedback on these issues? What OS are you deploying when you encounter these problems? How many updates are you deploying?

Hi Jeff, can you provide some further detail on this? I think I know what you're asking but don't want to make any assumptions.
