    Hi,

    Can we patch the SQL Server using SCCM? Please provide me the steps to do it or provide me any link which shows the step by step procedure.

    Yes it is possible however I do not recommendd it.

    The reasons for not are:

    - SCCM downloads and schedule and executes the SP or CU, but the timing is not exact

    - who will verify that all application and user connections have been closed ?

    - once the SQL instance is 'quiesced' (no more application and user connections) SCCM will not take a recovery backup of the system and application databases

    I could go on but that should be good for starters ...
