Third Party Patching is one of my favorite features as SCCM admin. I have had a chance to present live demo in a recent Webinar with Manage Engine. In this post, I will share the video recording of the webinar, which I did with Aravind Ekanath.

Introduction
I have been testing SCCM third party patching feature since the 1806 version. It was a bit sketchy with the initial releases but got stabilized with the later technical preview versions of SCCM.
In Manage Engine’s webinar, I did a live demo:
- How to add Third part custom catalog (Fujistu)
- How to subscribe to Fujitsu’s catalog
- How to Publish Content of Third Party software called NotePad++ from ManageEgnine’s paid catalog (blue to green journey 👍)
