ConfigMgr, rather than reinventing the wheel, often uses existing components or products from other Microsoft teams. Software updates is no exception; it uses the Windows Update Agent (WUA) and WSUS. Building on existing technology frees up Microsoft’s ConfigMgr development team from creating and testing components that perform the same functions. It also ensures consistent patch-scanning results between ConfigMgr, WSUS, and Windows Update manual patching.
